• Description:
  Over 2,800 historic Great Lakes ice charts spanning 20 winters (1960-79) were digitized and converted to discrete 5-by-5-km grid cells. This data set was analyzed to produce a series of 46 plates, including 9 for each of the 5 Great Lakes with one extra plate for Lake Michigan. The plates portray charts of maximum, minimum, and normal ice concentration patterns and observation density for nine semimonthly periods beginning the last half of December and ending the last half of April.
