Abstract: An investigation of sensible and latent heat fluxes and their relation to synoptic weather events was performed using hourly meteorological measurements from National Data Buoy Center buoy 45003, located in northern Lake ...

Abstract: This study focuses on dense fog cases that develop in association with low clouds and sometimes precipitation. A climatology of weather conditions associated with dense fog at Peoria, Illinois, for October?March 1970?94 ...

Abstract: ne of the most notable ways the Laurentian Great Lakes impact the region?s climate is by augmenting snowfall in downwind locations during autumn and winter months. Among many negative consequences, this surplus of snow can ...

Abstract: redictions of lake and sea breezes are particularly important in large coastal population centers because of the circulations? influence on heat-wave relief, energy use, precipitation, and dispersion of pollutants. While ...

Abstract: Aircraft measurements of vertical air motions are used in a process of conditional sampling to select updraft and downdraft cores during a period of strong lake-effect convection. Corresponding measurements of temperature ...

Abstract: Large spatial and temporal variations were observed in the location of the upwind cloud edge over Lake Michigan during five westerly wind lake-effect events in November 1995 through January 1996. This study examines the ...

Abstract: Forecasters in the Great Lakes region have for several decades recognized a general relationship of wind speed and overlake fetch to lake-effect snowstorm morphology. A recent study using idealized mesoscale model simulations ...

Abstract: hile the total snowfall produced in lake-effect storms can be considerable, little is known about how clouds and snow evolve within lake-effect boundary layers. Data collected over Lake Michigan on 10 January 1998 during ...

Abstract: Lake-effect cloud bands over each of the North American Great Lakes were studied, using five winters of visible satellite data (1988?93) in order to better document the frequency of mesoscale boundary layer flows that led ...
