Short Description

A dispersion study at many of Ecology's long-term monitoring stations occurred at the University of Washington's Puget Sound Model on August 13, 1993. The purpose of this experiment was to approximate the relative dispersion of water masses after several days of tidal action, in different estuaries monitored by Ecology in Puget Sound. Fresh and salt-water dye were released during periods of neap and spring tides in surface and bottom waters, respectively.
