MARC recordImplications of CO₂ global warming on Great Lakes ice cover / Raymond A. Assel.
| Title: | Implications of CO₂ global warming on Great Lakes ice cover / Raymond A. Assel. |
| Author(s): | Assel, Raymond A. |
| Date: | 1991. |
| In: | Climatic Change. (1991.), Vol. 18(4) (1991) |
| Abstract: | Statistical models were used to project daily mean basin ice cover and annual ice cover duration for lakes Superior and Erie. Models were applied to 1951-80 base period and to three 30-year steady double CO₂ scenarios. Ice cover duration is shorter, ice is less extensive, and frequency of winters without ice cover is greater for Lake Erie than for Superior. Using average scenario, ice cover is likely to be limited to shore areas and shallows. Discusses environmental and economic implications. Navigation could be extended and expanded year-round. |
