Period of Coverage: Wave characteristics: 1948-1950 
Lake levels: 1860-1953 
Contents: This publication is divided into two sections: lake level sta- 
tistics and wave statistics. 
The lake level data include average seasonal fluctuation, a frequency of 
occurrence for short period fluctuations, and data on probability of occur- 
rence of annual maximum monthly mean lake level for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 consecu- 
tive years. 
The wave statistics section is divided into separate subsections for each 
location. Each subsection contains statistical hindcast data for each month, 
statistical hindeast data for a full year, statistical hindcast data for 
ice-free periods, and statistical energy data for various periods. Wave 
roses, and duration and frequency of waves as a function of wave heights are 
also included.
