Tides
Studies show that the Great Lakes do in fact experience a semidiurnal tidal pattern. The tidal range however, is extremely small - averaging around 1 inch and reaching 1.6 to 2.0 inches (4-5cm) during the largest of tides. This tidal range is so small, that they are often hidden by other fluctuations in water levels that are caused by the weather. As a result, the Great Lakes are generally considered to be "non-tidal."
Surface Currents
Lake Ontario’s main surface water current, often called a gyre, typically travels in a counter-clockwise direction around Lake Ontario. This is due to the Coriolis Effect caused by the Earth’s rotation. (5cm/s is ≈ 0.1 knot) Rarely do surface current speeds on Lake Ontario exceed 0.5 knot. Keep in mind that these currents do not travel exclusively in one direction. There are frequent flow-reversals. Often the alongshore currents will be flowing west, and then reverse and flow east. These flow...
Like all of the individual Great Lakes, Lake Ontario acts like heat sink that moderates the temperatures of the surrounding land, cooling the summers and warming the winters. The lake also acts like giant humidifier, increasing the moisture content of the air. In the winter, this moisture contributes to the heavy snowfalls famous for this area and ...
