Scientific Purpose/Goals: Purpose to conduct high-resolution reflection profiling using the Edgetech 512i Chirp profiler. This instrument contains both the chirp transducer (passband 500 Hz to 12 kHz) and hydrophone receiving arrays. The survey strategy was to profile the axis of the lake from the dam up to the confluence with the South Yuba River.
