Strong #winds heading into Thanksgiving are bringing winter #storm warnings, big #waves & #GaleWarnings across the #GreatLakes. Some areas could see up to 3ft of snow, 45+ mph gusts & 20+ ft waves. 🌬️❄️🌊 More from @NOAA: 🔗 https://t.co/46UuIDpWKq 🔗 https://t.co/UDLizjf8Fr

Did you know that there is a network of volunteer observers across the US that measure precipitation every day? This effort is called the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network -- or "CoCoRaHS"! Become an observer today! https://t.co/hyaQnT8Gzq

#MondayMorning: Here’s how #GreatLakes ice cover has changed over the last 60 days! 🧊 - for 3/16/25 - Great Lakes total: 13.45% Superior: 9.23% Michigan: 10.67% Huron: 20.09% Erie: 22.72% Ontario: 10.24% #GreatLakesSci @NOAA_GLERL @NOAAResearch @USCGGreatLakes @detroitdistrict

Winter is becoming shorter in the waters of the #GreatLakes! This finding marks the first time researchers have used subsurface temperature readings to determine how climate change may be affecting seasons in & around the Great Lakes. đź”—: https://t.co/erYnh6zRVG

What a venue! What an event! #Cryo2ice is almost over, but not quite yet. Time now to summarise this incredible "family reunion" of our milk and cookies, CryoSat and ICESat-2. We're about to hear from all our chairs, before a wrap up from @tparrine & @Thorsten_Markus

Good news for large lake ice prediction! Medium-range forecasts show promise @alexa_yeo1

Medium-range (5- to 16-day) ice forecasts show utility in the Great Lakes Model ice forecasts outperform ice persistence forecasts Air temperature bias in medium-range weather forecasts is the l...

excited to watch the surface pressure drop associated with the incoming storm. last week's front sank to 960hPa and 12.76' significant wave height at this station! https://t.co/RjFEAyTkZ0

Winter buoys are live! We've got buoys in the water to track otherwise-unobserved conditions in a harsh icy environment
long way from home! or anything really. funding from @RealGLOS, collab @lakeographer. we put together some deepwater, winter-optimized moorings and @Sofarocean buoys. @USCGGreatLakes deploying them at @databuoycenter sites in Sup, Mich, Huron to assess models over winter.

Nice word of the week @ametsoc :) , but not just for oceans. In fact that photo is of the Mackinac Bridge in the Great Lakes, where meteotsunamis are abundant! Original article here:
fondriest.com
Meteotsunamis are big waves that have been historically mislabeled and poorly forecasted in the Great Lakes. Experts are learning more and predictive tools are in sight.
WORD OF THE WEEK💬 Meteotsunami—Long-wave disturbances of the ocean surface driven by atmospheric pressure variations associated with fast-moving weather events such as thunderstorms, squalls, and other storm fronts. Read more: https://t.co/xSz10LjEYe

What’s that rumble? Scientists at @nasajpl are testing a new technology that may detect tsunamis by the ripples of energy they send toward the atmosphere. The goal is to enhance early warning systems and help communities prepare. How it works: https://t.co/NF3NQQTvP2

As the unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day Weekend seems like a good time to look at #GreatLakes surface water temperatures. Cold plunge anyone? Explore your favorite beach via https://t.co/jrW3R9aGec

More than half of the world’s largest lakes have declined over the past three decades. Nearly one-quarter of the world’s population resides in a basin with a drying lake, which underscores the importance of management solutions. Learn more in Science: https://t.co/Z3Nb6rFqDu

SWOT’s scientific heart, the KaRIn instrument, also measured the elevation of inland water bodies on Long Island (bright pink spots) – an exciting sign of how SWOT can measure details of smaller lakes, ponds, and rivers in ways that satellites could not before.

Shameless plug... I'm thrilled about my first single-author publication.đź’– For a long time, I thought of writing up some good #calibration #practices after calibrating models for 20+ years. Here are 10 strategiesđź§µ Many thx to the #WomenInHydrology SI! https://t.co/jNwj6Pi8sC

A whole new view 🤩 🌊 First taste from the SWOT mission shows Earth’s water in higher definition than ever before. The spatial resolution of SWOT ocean measurements is 10 times greater than sea surface height data gathered over the same area by seven other satellites combined.
