AbstractAnalysis of the growth, dissipation, thickness, and stratigraphy of ice cover in the nearshore zone of the Great Lakes, on a lake-by-lake basis, shows certain features governed by regional weather patterns and by the energy budget factors associated with each lake. However, local factors tend to exert a major influence on the formation and decay of ice in most of the locations and much year-to-year variability was noted. A detailed analysis of the factors influencing the ice cover in any area would provide explanation for anomalies, but such studies can only be justified on a case-by-case basis.
