Abstract: A numerical model based on the impulse response function method is used to hindcast and forecast storm surges on Lake Erie. The impulse response function method is more efficient then numerical integration of the dynamic ...

Abstract: Two simple numerical models have been used to study the low-frequency (<0.6 cpd) current oscillations observed in Lake Michigan in order to learn more about what really limits our ability to simulate currents in large ...

Abstract: The mean circulation in large takes is nearly nondivergent in character. This paper takes advantage of this fact to represent the flow field in terms of the transport streamfunction. The horizontal velocity vector (v) and ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional circulation model has been used to test the hypothesis of whether the observed low-frequency current variations in the central Gulf of Riga, Baltic Sea, can be explained by basin-scale topographic wave ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a possible explanation for the mean cyclonic circulation in large stratified lakes The condition of no heat flux through the bottom boundary causes the isotherms to dip near the shores to intersect the ...

Abstract: This article has two purposes. The first is to describe how the Great Lakes Coastal Forecasting System (GLCFS) can be used to validate wind forecasts for the Great Lakes using observed and forecast water levels. The second ...

Abstract: We compare results from a simple parametric, dynamical, deep-water wave prediction model with two sets of measured wave height maps of Lake Michigan. The measurements were made with an airborne laser altimeter under two ...

Abstract: Periods and structures of several normal modes of Lake Michigan (including Green Bay) are calculated theoretically, taking into account the Lake's topography and the earth's rotation. The calculations are based on a Galerkin ...

Abstract: There has been considerable debate over the past three decades concerning the specific cause of the loss of the ship the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior on 10 November 1975, but there is little question that weather ...

Abstract: Two three-dimensional primitive equation numerical ocean models are applied to the problem of internal Kelvin waves and coastal upwelling in the Great Lakes. One is the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) with a terrain-following ...
