“ “Typical Typical” ”
Prior to 1998:
* Secchi disk was deeper than typical * Color was lower than typical * Chlorophyll a was lower than typical * TSS was typical These observations were logically consistent with each other.

Observations:
* Kd was related to chlorophyll in a quantifiable manner * Kd was related to color in a quantifiable manner * Chlorophyll and color were strongly and consistently correlated across segments. * Chlorophyll was often correlate with turbidity and TSS, but to a lesser extent than color in strength
- f correlation and spatial consistency.
