Time-Series Plots of Lake Ontario Currents, Temperature, and Winds 
Marmorino, G. 0., Special Report No. 36 
Publication Date: June 1978 
Location: Nine stations in Lake Ontario: one near 
mid-lake, about 40 km from shore, and in about 
140 m of water; the other eight spaced around 
the lake, about 50 km apart, 15 km from shore, 
and in 100 m of water 
Period of Coverage: December 1972 - March 1973 
Contents: As part of the International Field Year for the Great Lakes program 
to measure the climatology of Lake Ontario, currents and water temperatures 
were sampled every 30 min at nine stations with Plessey and Geodyne current 
meters, from 1 December 1972 through late March 1973 by E. B. Bennett's group 
at the Canada Center for Inland Waters. 
Vector time-series plots of currents and wind stress and scalar plots of 
water temperature are presented at 10-day intervals using hourly data from 
Lake Ontario, December 1972 - March 1973. To allow comparisons to be made 
between currents and wind forcing, time-series plots of wind are also 
presented. In addition, information on the lake's thermal structure was 
provided by Airborne Radiation Thermometer flight surveys and by ship surveys.
