Great Lakes Daily Ice Observations at NOAA Water Level Gauge Sites

Documentation Access Data
Ice type codes, recorded daily from 1 November - 30 April by
cooperative observers at up to 39 NOAA/National Ocean Service water
level gauge sites on the Great Lakes, 1955/56 to 1996/97, are
archived. Not all gauge sites have reported each season; a list of
sites with coordinates and reporting years is included with the data
set. The longest records tend to be at river stations (St. Clair, St. Marys, Detroit, St. Lawrence.) Daily observations are coded (open
water, solid ice, honeycombed ice, slush ice, windrowed ice, drifting
ice, ice gorge), as well as first and last reported ice for each
season. This time series is a unique data set.
