Southern Lake Michigan nutrients, temperature, chlorophyll, plankton, and water movement during 1983 and 1984

Several biological, chemical, and physical properties were determined in Lake Michigan for the region of the 100-m depth contour in the southeastern basin of Lake Michigan off Grand Haven, Michigan, in 1983 and 1984. The measurements are presented in tabular and graphical form, and a brief description is given of collection and preparation methods. The nutrient fluxes recorded for 1983 and 1984 are typical for oligo-mesotrophic, phosphorus-limited, temperate lakes, and the water movements recorded indicate that advection in Lake Michigan, on a lake-wide scale, is small.
