Great Lakes Ice Cover Database

Go to Ice Cover Home

explain that GLICD is a combination of ice atlas data and recent data

All of these products were developed according to the standards used for the Great Lakes Ice Atlas for 1973-2002, ensuring that this time series of ice data is internally consistent. Although the ice charts and graphic files for 2003-2005 were released previously (Assel, 2005), they are included here for consistency with the addition of GIS files. For more documentation on this data set, see Wang et al., 2012, and, Assel et al.,2013.
