Featured Research

Lake-effect Snowstorm over the Great Lakes, April, 2012.

A GLISA Project Team reports that while ice cover affects evaporation, the reverse is true as well. Evaporation rates in the autumn also help determine the extent of winter ice cover. The new findings point to a need for year-round monitoring of evaporation rates in the Great Lakes region. Read about it in our newsletter or read the full report here.
