Great Lakes Ice Charts
Entry ID:
G00486
Summary
Abstract:
Charts show ice extent and concentration three times weekly during the ice season, for all lakes except Ontario, from the 1973/74 ice season through the 2001/2002 ice season. Most charts are annotated to indicate data sources. Straits of Mackinac, Green Bay and Sault Ste. Marie are enlarged as insets, and in some cases, provided as separate charts. From 1973/74 through 1986/87, charts were prepared by the National Weather Service Forecast Office, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Beginning with the 1987/88 season, the National Ice Center (formerly known as the Navy/NOAA Joint Ice Center) in Suitland, Maryland prepared the charts. Charts are available as GIF files.

The investigator has GPS data from the 2002/2003 season for each of the sub-colonies and colonies visited (Cape Bird - North, Middle, South, Cape Royds & Cape Crozier). GPS data was downloaded and is stored digitally in her possession. All the penguin calls recorded are stored both on the original tapes at University of Auckland or digitally in the investigators possession. All feathers sampled for sex analysis are stored in the -80 degree freezer at the University of Auckland or were destroyed after analysis. All behavioural data is either in digital format (stored on the University of Auckland's server) or in notebooks in her possession.
Otherwise, all data is contained within the PhD thesis. Data Set Progress
