Boundary layer temporal evolution observed by doppler lidar upwind of a lake-effect snow event
… Doppler Wind LiDAR (LiDAR) was deployed during a lake-effect snow event over Lake Michigan to develop a method of processing and reviewing the data collected by the LiDAR, create a conceptual model of the temporal evolution of the atmospheric boundary layer on the lake’s upwind shore, and …

Observations of misovortices within the 7 January 2014 Long Lake-Axis-Parallel lake-effect snow band during the Ontario Winter Lake-effect Systems Project
Recent lake-effect snow field projects in the Eastern Great Lakes region [e.g., the Long Lake-Axis-Parallel (LLAP; 2010-2011) Project and the Ontario Winter Lake-effect Systems (OWLeS; 2013-2014) Project] have revealed the presence of misovortices with diameters between 40 and 4000 m within LLAP …

Effects of Air Temperature and Lake Ice on Snowfall on the South Shore of Lake Superior
Lake Superior is a forcing factor for local weather systems, causing substantial amounts of lake effect snow in the winter (particularly on the south shore). This study assesses decreasing ice cover of Lake Superior and its effects upon synoptic weather factors. Data were collected from eleven …

Climate Change in Buffalo, NY
… New York, located along the eastern shore of Lake Erie. My hypotheses are that average winter temperatures and snowfall should be increasing, Lake Erie should be freezing at a later date, and Lake Erie’s ice cover should affect snowfall amounts. The warmer temperatures would lead to Lake …

An East Coast Winter Storm Precipitation Climatology
… This climatology consists of the percentage of snowfall and precipitation from ECWS, on average per snow year. The exclusion of non-ECWS snowfall and precipitation during ECWS events is accomplished by utilizing a precipitation gradient line, a pressure gradient line, and the presence of a …

Trend Reversal in Lake Michigan Contribution to Snowfall
One 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 cause substantial property damage to homes and can escalate the number of …

Radar observations of misovortices within multiple long-lake-axis-parallel lake-effect bands during the OWLeS project
The Ontario Winter Lake-effect Systems (OWLeS) Project collected a wealth of data on several lake-effect storms in the vicinity of Lake Ontario during the winter of 2013-14. Of all lake-effect band archetypes, long- lake-axis-parallel (LLAP) bands are the most intense, bringing the highest snowfall …
