Lake Ontario Winter Storms (LOWS) Project: Inventory of Data from NOAA Wave Propagation Laboratory Instrumentation

摘要

Banded snowstorms generated over Lake Ontario frequently produce localized but extremely heavy precipitation and blizzard conditions including whiteouts inland from the leeside shores. Also on a mesoscale, hazardous freezing rain frequently impacts the same region in winter. A consortium of scientists from the government, universities and private industry, led by NOAA's Wave Propagation Laboratory, conducted the field phase of the Lake Ontario Winter Storms (LOWS) Project in the Lake Ontario basin between 5 January and 1 March 1990 to study these severe weather phenomena.
