Winter on the Great Lakes: Ice, Evaporation, and Water Level Impact
March 3, 2021, 3 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. EST
Info HERE
Join Michigan Sea Grant on March 3, 2021, 3 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. EST for a webinar “Winter on the Great Lakes: Ice, Evaporation, and Water Level Impacts” to unpack these complex relationships with implications for Great Lakes water levels and coastal impacts of ice.
From November 2020 through January 2021, the Great Lakes had a very low ice-cover winter. However, significant change happened recently during February 2021. An extended disruption of the polar vortex hovered over the Great Lakes and caused rapid increases in ice cover. Lake Erie, for example, was below 5% ice cover during most of January and now is over 80% ice cover.
