Abstract: Results are presented of a field study of the ice suppression caused by discharge of warm water at the side of the Mississippi River near Bettendorf, Iowa. Included in the results are measurements of lateral and longitudinal open water extents and lateral, longitudinal, and vertical water temperature profiles. Successive measurements were made on both very cold (~20°C) and warm days (0°C air temperatures). The manner by which the ice cover extends during a change from warm to cold weather is described.
