Figure 17. (A) Total rate of replacement in Goose Bay and Tulana in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, (B) partial replacement rate of water in Goose Bay and Tulana with Williamson River water, and (C) estimated contribution of benthic fluxes to orthophosphate concentration in Goose Bay and Tulana as a function of lake elevation, as calculated with multi-variate regression models. To obtain results shown, wind conditions were set to weak late-summer winds as observed on August 10, 2008, and the Williamson River inflow was set to 13 cubic meters per second. To obtain orthophosphate concentration, the benthic load was set to 66 kilograms per day. Elevations are in feet above Bureau of Reclamation datum.
