Contents: The wind-driven, steady-state, well-mixed circulation in Lake Erie 
has been studied for existing conditions and as modified by a proposed jetport 
island located near Cleveland, Ohio. The report includes data from a paramet-— 
ric study for wind speeds of 17 mph and 35 mph representing average and 
extreme wind conditions from late September through May. In the study, the 
lake is assumed to be isothermal, and a solution is obtained for the entire 
lake and for a nearshore area near Cleveland. The report primarily presents 
the results of the circulation study and briefly summarizes the hydrodynamic 
model used. Included in the data are stream function contours and horizontal 
and vertical velocities at various depths for the entire lake and for the 
nearshore area. Also included are differences in velocity components and in 
velocity magnitude with and without the jetport island included in the study.
