Lake Huron was a close second, with just more than 17 per cent of the lake hosting some ice coverage. Since data collection began in 1973, the average extent of ice coverage across the entire Great Lakes basin on Jan. 11 is about 17 per cent. That num...
Frigid temperatures of late helped ice coverage surge above average across the Great LakesThe recent spell of prolonged frigid temperatures across the Great Lakes helped push the region’s ice coverage to the highest level in years. For some areas, current...
Ice coverage on the Great Lakes typically reaches its annual peak in late February or early March. But at that time in 2024, the lakes were conspicuously free of ice. Owing to warmer winter weather and above-averagesurface water temperatures, ice cover stood at historic lows. Since satellite-...
Lakes Superior, Huron and Erie are 80 to 90 percent covered. Ontario has by far the least ice coverage at just over 10 percent--down from a high of about 40-50 percent 10 days ago. The record ice coverage for all five lakes was set in 1979 at nearly 95 percent....
There was a significant downward trend in ice coverage from 1973 to the present for all of the lakes, with Lake Ontario having the largest, and Lakes Erie and St. Clair having the smallest. The translated total loss in lake ice over the entire 38-yr record...
Ice coverage on the lakes, which have a combined surface area roughly the size of the U.K., has generally peaked in mid-February over the last 50 years, with as much as 91% of the lakes covered at times, according to theGreat Lakes Ice Tracker website....
Ice coverage in the Great Lakes has expanded greatly since New Year's Day. - Articles from The Weather Channel | weather.com
NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratoryshared a Facebook postThursday morning that showed that all of the Great Lakes picked up some surface ice during the invasion of the Polar Vortex, withLake Superior doubling its ice coverage from about 20% ice coverage to almost 40%this week....
Although the CIS mission is primarily focused on ice monitoring, recently the role of the CIS has been expanded to include a marine service component.The CIS receives about 4000 RADARSAT-1 scenes annually, including coverage of the Great Lakes and the eastern coast of Canada. Besides imaging ...
, but further analysis can’t be conducted due to the limited spatial coverage of CCI Lakes. Owing to the relatively shorter temporal coverage for ARC-Lake (1995–2012) compared to ERA5 (1979–2020), we only showed the results from ERA5 in the main text while the results from ARC-Lake...
