“…The e results obtained at location 022 in September are compared with Alsaffar's upper and favorably with other studies tending toward the upper limits, which is expected as the results lower limits (see Table 2). Okubo [1968] has also summarized two-dimensional dispersion coefficients for the ocean giving the 5-hour range of (0.3 to 2.0) X 10' cm'/sec. The results of other Great Lakes results determined by dye experiments are 0.04 X 10' cm•/sec [Csanady, 1964], 3-6 X 10' cm2/sec [Noble, 1961], 0.06 X 10' cm'/sec [Okubo, 1967], and 0.39 X 691 [Murthy, 1969].…”

Mean hourly dispersion coefficients are predicted by using a first‐order Markov chain model developed from continuous hourly current meter records at a fixed point. Dispersion coefficients compare favorably with other studies. The Eulerian data are assumed equivalent to Lagrangian because the Reynolds numbers were large, and because the velocity field was homogeneous over the distances considered. A conventional dye injection study at Port Maitland on Lake Erie verified the Eulerian to Lagrangian data conversion. Concentrations as a function of distance for a constant continuous point source of a passive contaminant are computed. A method for determining the maximum, mean, and minimum probable distances traveled by a particle in a period of hours is presented.

“…The preliminary March experiment, discussed elsewhere in this report, was designed to, and did, provide that information for the drogues. Scales of motion associated with the dye experiments were inferred from two dye reiases in the coastal waters off Maryland (Carter, 1978) and (Okubo, 1968). Figure 25 shows the r~sulting redesigned current meter array for the July experiment.…”
