Sensitivity of summer Lake Superior thermal structure to meteorological forcing
We use a one-dimensional model, forced with realistic meteorological measurements, to determine to first order the sensitivity of summer surface water temperature, heat content, and vertical stratification scale to three forcing variables: air temperature, wind speed, and previous winter ice cover, all three of which have exhibited long-term trends over the last few decades. Summer-averaged sur...
متن کاملAn investigation of the thermal response to meteorological forcing in a hydrodynamic model of Lake Superior
Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world by surface area and third largest by volume, features strong spatiotemporal thermal variability due to its immense size and complex bathymetry. The objectives of this study are to document our recent modeling experiences on the simulation of the lake thermal structure and to explore underlying dynamic explanations of the observed modeling success. In...
متن کاملModeling the 1998–2003 summer circulation and thermal structure in Lake Michigan
[1] A three-dimensional primitive equation numerical model was applied to Lake Michigan on a 2 km grid for 6 consecutive years to study interannual variability of summer circulation and thermal structure in 1998–2003. The model results were compared to long-term observations of currents and temperature at seven moorings and two NOAA buoys. The accuracy of modeled currents improved considerably ...
متن کاملVisual Sensitivity of Deepwater Fishes in Lake Superior
The predator-prey interactions in the offshore food web of Lake Superior have been well documented, but the sensory systems mediating these interactions remain unknown. The deepwater sculpin, (Myoxocephalus thompsoni), siscowet (Salvelinus namaycush siscowet), and kiyi (Coregonus kiyi) inhabit low light level environments. To investigate the potential role of vision in predator-prey interaction...
متن کاملModeling Hydraulic Responses to Meteorological Forcing: From Canopy to Aquifer
325 Land hydrologic responses to meteorological forcing involve complicated exchanges of moisture and energy between soil, vegetation, snowpack, groundwater, and the overlying atmospheric boundary layer. These exchanges occur in the form of many interactive natural hydrologic processes, including precipitation, snow and soil water melting and freezing, infi ltration, storage and movement of soi...
