Abstract
The chief factor controlling currents in Great Salt Lake is inflow. In the south arm inflow from Bear River and from Farmington Bay sets up two major counterclockwise currents. In the north arm, flow through culverts in the Southern Pacific Railroad causeway induces two major northwest-flowing currents. Currents in Great Salt Lake caused by winds are rare and diminish rapidly.Keywords
