Book Description
Learn about the wonders of Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair in this fascinating and readable book. The most comprehensive reference source available about the lakes, Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair Handbook is an ideal guide for anglers, boaters, swimmers, beach walkers—anyone who uses and enjoys the lakes. The handbook explains, in simple terms, the reasons for the scenic beauty and the natural events that occur in the coastal and offshore waters of Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair, including the St. Clair, Detroit, and Niagara rivers extending from Sarnia, Ontario, to Niagara-on-the-Lake, New York. Individual chapters focus on the land, air, water, and life forms that comprise the natural history and environment of the region—the shoreline topography, wind and weather patterns, water temperature cycles and water level changes, the ecology, and indigenous animal life. Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair Handbook enhances our understanding and appreciation of the lakes and their surroundings by addressing fundamental questions about the Lake Erie region: • how Lake Erie was formed through glacial processes • why daily and seasonal weather patterns occur • causes of the water currents and waves • causes of temperature patterns in the lakes • the location of productive reef features • the species of fish and birds found in the area • the importance of the wetlands • the effect of current and past pollution on the aquatic life in the lakes

A nontechnical summary of the Waterways Experiment Station's (WES) efforts in a model feasibility investigation of a proposed jetport located in Lake Erie offshore Cleveland, Ohio, is presented in this report. This report is intended to present the basic concepts, procedures and results of the WES model feasibility study without technical details. The following items are some of those presented in a format suitable for the nonscientist: (a) scope and objectives of WES study; (b) factors involved in hydrodynamic modeling; (c) lake characteristics and other information required as input for the models; (d) methods for obtaining unavailable data; (e) numerical and physical model evaluation, selection and preliminary design procedures; (f) information obtained from the models; and (g) current status of WES modeling efforts. Detailed technical data and results from WES study were published by WES in a series of 12 reports. These reports are referenced throughout this report in the appropriate and related sections.
