Jun 1, 2014 · Lake Erie is a good candidate for such an approach because its short water residence time (2.6 years) reduces one common time-lag in system response. Such an approach would also allow for more effective testing and post-audits of the ability of models to project the ecosystem's response and thus improve subsequent assessments and projections.

Oct 29, 2019 · By volume, Lake Ontario is approximately 3.5 times larger than Lake Erie, Lake Huron is 7 times larger, Lake Michigan is 10 times larger, and Lake Superior is 25 times larger. As a result, retention/replacement time for water in Lake Erie is the shortest of the Great Lakes at 2.7 years, followed by Lake Ontario at 6 years, Lake Huron at 22 years, Lake Michigan at 99 years, and Lake Superior at ...

The Western Basin of Lake Erie, however, provides a particularly unique environment among the Great Lakes, sporting the shallowest and most temperate waters (Ludsin et al, 2021; Reavie et al, 2018). In fact, in the areas where harmful algal blooms are observed, the lake depth does not extend beyond 5 meters deep, unlike the rest of the lake which plunges to depths of up to 64 meters.
Jun 1, 2016 · The rise in Microcystis dominance, also observed in other areas of the Great Lakes such as the Bay of Quinte (Lake Ontario), Green Bay (Lake Michigan) and Saginaw Bay (Lake Huron), has also been attributed to the enhanced water clarity, selective particle removal and soluble nutrient recycling associated with dreissenid filtering activity (Conroy et al., 2005, Munawar et al., 2008, Nicholls ...

Th e oldest group of lakes, from ~14,400 to 12,000 years ago, were ice contact lakes that ranged higher than present Lake Erie. Th e middle group of lake stages, from 12,000 to 4,700 years ago, were isolated from Upper Lakes drainage during dry climatic conditions and fell well below the present level of Lake Erie.
Nov 1, 2023 · Lake Erie's direct watersheds added 13.4% to the Detroit River flow for a total Lake Erie outflow of 5935 m 3 s −1 divided between the Niagara River (96.7% or 5740.2 m 3 s −1) and the Welland Canal (3.3% or 194.5 m 3 s −1). Watershed inflows to Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie were estimated at 142 and 799 m 3 s −1, respectively.

Feb 19, 2021 · The researchers estimated that Erie’s lake-bottom sediments annually release between 2,000 and 11,500 metric tons of phosphorus. The high end of this range equals the approximate annual inflow of phosphorus to Lake Erie’s central basin from rivers and tributaries: 10,000 to 11,000 metric tons.
