Plan view of Miharu What we measure:
a) StratificationThermal stratification,Vertical distribution of WQ
b) Temporal change of WQwater temperature,DO, Chlorophyll-a, etc.
c) Deposition fluxIncluding Sediment,Detritus, etc.

Field Measurements in a Reservoir
a) Stratification (Vertical distribution)
b) Temporal change of WQ
c) Deposition flux
How we measure:
Hanging and sinking sensorsfrom a boat.
Deploying self-recording devices on ropes with floats
Using sediment trapsdeployed
