Title: Temporary Combined Lake Superior Surface Water Temperature (LLTM & GLSEA) Open Access Deposited

Description
  • The survival and beta models forecasting ice cover around the Apostle Island National Lakeshore use Lake Superior surface water temperature data collected from the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL). GLERL hosts Lake Superior surface water temperature data pre-1995 from the Large Lake Thermodynamics Model (LLTM) and post-1995 from the Great Lakes Surface Environmental Analysis (GLSEA). The pre-1995 data is currently being moved and is unavailable from GLERL, and therefore, the (entire) surface water temperature record used by the models is hosted here. Please see the methods for direct data access links. The LLTM, the source of the pre-1995 data, is described in Croley II, T. E., & Assel, R. A. (1994). A one-dimensional ice thermodynamics model for the Laurentian Great Lakes. Water Resources Research, 30(3), 625–639. Documentation on GLSEA can be found on their website.

Dataset Title: Combined Lake Superior Surface Water Temperature (LLTM & GLSEA)

Dataset Creators: GLERL

Dataset Contact: Manish Venumuddula manishrv@umich.edu

Key Points:
- Temporary storage of Large Lake Thermodynamics Model (LLTM) and Great Lakes Surface Environmental Analysis (GLSEA) on Lake Superior from 1972 to 2022
- Some GLERL data is not currently accessible (Fall 2024), and is hosted here temporarily.

Dataset Description:
A model forecasting ice cover around the Apostle Island National Lakeshore uses Lake Superior surface water temperature data collected from the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL). GLERL hosts Lake Superior surface water temperature data pre-1995 from the Large Lake Thermodynamics Model (LLTM) and post-1995 from the Great Lakes Surface Environmental Analysis (GLSEA). The pre-1995 data is currently being moved and is unavailable from GLERL, and therefore, the (entire) surface water temperature record used by the models is hosted here. Please see the methodology for direct data access links.

Methodology:
Lake Superior surface water temperature data was gathered from GLERL at the following websites. 1972-1995 data used to be from https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/data/dashboard/data/hydroIO/temps/superiorWaterTempModMo.csv
and 1995-2022 data is from https://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/statistics/average-surface-water-temperature-glsea/. Data gathered from August to December and stitched together.
