Description:

This report documents the development and testing of the upgraded forecast modeling system for Lake Superior (LSOFS) using FVCOM as well as the results of a skill assessment of hindcasts for water level, water currents, and surface and subsurface water temperature during 2017 and 2018. The skill assessment of the semi-operational nowcasts and forecast guidance running on WCOSS will be conducted by CO-OPS and its results will be published in a separate technical report. A brief overview of the physical limnology of Lake Superior is given first.
