2 questions one comment.
1. Can we see a pic of the ice breaker barge in plow mode ?
2. Temps down at all depths , DOs up at all depths all while there is less plankton producing O2. Where is the extra O2 coming from or is the water just holding that much extra O2 ? If yes to the water holding that much extra O2 then is the BOD down that much ?
1)I will take a photo or two when and if the Barge is in breaker mode. It all depends on how the ice forms.
2)There are multiple casual factors working the D.O. this time of the year.
The water is holding a lot more O2 because of the temperature decrease.
The BOD has and continues to ease. Most of the summer submergent plant life has already decomposed and disappeared.
The remaining submergent plant life does produce O2 as photosynthesis continues at a lower pace than the warm water period.
The higher level pond dwellers are slowing their pace because of the cold water thus reducing the amount waste products they produce.
We have continued having rain events which tend to increase the O2 levels.
At least that is the way I see it.
