SPECIAL FEATURE: ISOSCAPES Footprint of recycled water subsidies downwind of Lake Michigan
Continental evaporation is a significant and dynamic flux within the atmospheric water budget, but few methods provide robust observational constraints on the large-scale hydroclimatological and hydroecological impacts of this ‘recycled-water’ flux. We demonstrate a geospatial analysis that provides such information, using stable isotope data to map the distribution of recycled water in shallow...
متن کاملRecent water level declines in the Lake Michigan-Huron system.
Great Lakes water levels have fluctuated over thousands of years. High water levels were a problem in the 1980s, but a recent sudden drop in Lakes Michigan and Huron has caused particular concern, in part because lower water levels are consistent with many global climate change scenarios. We examined water level data (1860-2006) representing Lakes Michigan and Huron to evaluate changes in both ...

متن کاملThe Impact of Chicago on Lake Michigan: Results of the Lake Michigan Mass Balance Study
As part of the U.S. EPA’s Lake Michigan Mass Balance Study, a predictive model for gas-phase persistent organic compounds over Lake Michigan has been constructed. Using air temperature, wind direction and atmospheric PCB concentration collected around and over the lake, the model predicts the concentration of PCB congeners (~100) and trans-nonachlor over the lake and gas exchange fluxes. The mo...
متن کاملChallenges to Deep-water Reproduction by Lake Trout: Pertinence to Restoration in Lake Michigan
Restoration efforts for lake trout Salvelinus namaycush in Lake Michigan are increasingly being focused on re-establishment of the species in deep water. This focus is based in part on examination of historical records of indigenous lake trout, which suggest that offshore reefs, especially deep reefs, sustained the greatest numbers of lake trout. This focus is also based on the increasing impac...
