Abstract:

Daily maximum and minimum temperatures for 25 stations around the Great

Lakes, 1897 to 1983, were given to NSIDC by the NOAA Great Lakes

Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL), Ann Arbor, MI. Daily data can

be used to produce daily maximum, minimum and mean temperatures, and

seasonal accumulations of freezing and thawing degree days. The

statistical data are archived on 25 reels of 35 mm microfilm, one roll

per station. Microfilm rolls are the appendices to Assel (1980), with

updates covering 1978 to 1983 spliced to the end of each microfilm roll.

Data sources include U.S. Department of Commerce summaries of

meteorological data for Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois,

Pennsylvania and New York, and the monthly meteorological observations

published by Environment Canada.

Stations are: Rochester, NY, Kingston, Ont., Port Dover, Ont., Buffalo,

NY, Oswego, NY, Detroit, MI, Chicago, IL, Cleveland, OH, Toledo, OH,

Erie, PA, Alpena, MI, Bay City, MI, Port Huron, MI, Green Bay, WI,

Milwaukee, WI, Parry Sound, Ont., Fort William, Ont., Thunder Bay, Ont.,

Escanaba, MI, Traverse City, MI, Muskegon, MI, Toronto, Ont., Houghton,

MI, Marquette, MI, Sault Ste. Marie, MI, Duluth, MI.
