Goals/Objectives
• Determine the current level of performance of both aerators
• Estimate the oxygen loads from the aerators and the oxygen transfer efficiency
• Compare aerator performance to release of oxygen gas from jets and different aerator device (Biox Hose)

Measurement Efforts
• Measurements in Front of North Jets while Operating Both Aerators
• Measurements in Front of South Jets while using Oxygen Gas

Measurements and Estimations
• Measured Velocity and DO concentrations of upwelling and/or flow-away currents
• Estimated flow-away or upwelling width and calculated flows
• Estimated Oxygen Loads from upwelling or flow-away flows and DO pick-up (measured DO minus background DO)
