A three-dimensional primitive equation numberical ocean model, the Princeton model of Blumberg and Mellor (1987), was applied to Lake Michigan for the 1982-1983 study priod. The model has a terrain following (sigma) vertical coordinate and the Mellor=Yamada turbulence closure scheme. This two-year period was chosen because of an extensive set of observational data including surface temperature observation at periment buoys and current and temperature observations from subsurface moorings. The emphasis of this paper is on the large-scale seasonal variations of thermal structure and circulation in Lake Michigan.
