The physical effects of waste heat input to the Great Lakes / Bernard C. Kenney.: En36-502/28E-PDF

"Surface temperatures were measured with an airborne radiometer in the thermal effluents of two electric generating stations. These measurements are presented directly as isotherm plots and as results of several statistical analyses. It was seen that the reduction of temperature was dominated by mixing of the effluent with ambient lakewater, direct transfer to the atmosphere averaging seven percent. There was no evidence of accelerated shoreline mixing due to turbulence generated by breaking waves"--Summary.
