GREAT LAKES ICE FORECASTING

The manual has been revised to include new technical procedures implemented during the 1971-72 and 1972-73 winter season. During this period an intensified Great Lakes marine weather and ice forecasting effort was made to support winter navigation of the Great Lakes in connection with ice information activities of the Demonstration Program. The manual also includes samples of the latest graphic and written weather and ice forecast products which are provided daily by the Detroit NWS Forecast Office.
