Seasonal, interannual, and decadal variability and long-term trend of ice cover in Whitefish Bay and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore of Lake Superior, 1973-2022

The 50-year winter ice cover data set consists of 7435 ice charts of total ice concentration for both Whitefish Bay and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. This report updates the ice climatology dataset for Whitefish Bay and the Apostle Islands from GLERL’s previous 45-winter (1973 – 2017) report covering all of the Laurentian Great Lakes.

Abstract

The 50-year winter ice cover data set consists of 7435 ice charts of total ice concentration for both Whitefish Bay and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. This report updates the ice climatology dataset for Whitefish Bay and the Apostle Islands from GLERL’s previous 45-winter (1973 – 2017) report covering all of the Laurentian Great Lakes.
