Description:In 1970, the University of Michigan Sea Grant Program began an intensive multidisciplinary field study of Grand Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan. That portion of this study directed at obtaining a description of the cur rents, periodic and aperiodic, that exist in Grand Traverse Bay, has involved two distinct types of current measurement: Lagrangian and Eulerian. The present report will be devoted to describing our application of essentially conventional drogue techniques to the quasi-Lagrangian measurement of the circulation in Grand Traverse Bay and the results thus obtained. A technique whereby drogues are monitored via VLF radio retransmission as they drift about in the bay has been developed in our research group and will be described in another report. The technique used to obtain the results described in this report has been used for well over 100 years.
