Two projects in the Laurentian Great Lakes were funded under the Coastal Ocean Processes Program. In Lake Superior the Keweenaw Interdisciplinary Transport Experiment in Superior (KITES) focused on a region dominated by a strong coastal jet, and a sister project in Lake Michigan, Episodic Events-Great Lakes Experiment (EEGLE), concentrated on the biogeochemical effects of a major plume of resuspended sediment that occurs annually in the southern portion of the lake.
