✦ Synopsis

The physics of sediment transport, resuspension and deposition is reviewed. First, the general problem is described and then emphasis is given to recent quantitative research in Lakes Ontario, Michigan and Erie. In this discussion, some original calculations are presented to show that Ekman layer sediment transport is important in determining the deposition areas in deep lakes.

Instrumented moorings were deployed during the winter of 1994–95 at three depths (28, 58 and 101 m) in southern Lake Michigan. Storms during the observation period were not unusually severe, so the processes observed are typical of those that occur during an average winter. Time series observations
