St. Marys River - Oil/Toxic Substance Spill Study Current Velocities and Directions 1980-1983

Abstract

The St. Marys River is an integral part of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River navigation system. The study area of the St. Marys River has a length of approximately 67 miles from its beginning in Lake Superior to its end at Lake Huron with a vertical fall of approximately 22 feet. The purpose of this report was to present the data collected over a four year period, from 1980 to 1983, specifically for the calibration of a mathematical model of an old Oil/ Toxic Substance Spill. The work involved the collection of flow velocities and directions for the St. Marys River for both open water and during periods of ice cover; and included an ice/riverbed contact footing feasibility study for Lake Nicolet. Keywords: Flow conditions; Wind effects; Data reduction; Flow discharges during periods of measure.
