The Dynamical Prediction of Wind Tides on Lake Erie

Lake Erie is an enclosed, shallow sea with approximate mean dimensions of 60 feet in depth, 240 miles in length, and 40 miles in width. It is located in the region of confluence of the principal winter-time tracks associated with Alberta and Colorado lows, and therefore is exposed to wind action from severe cyclonic storms many of which reach their full intensity while well within range of influence upon the Lake. The associated wind tides are well known and in extreme cases have produced wind set-up in excess of 13 feet difference between Buffalo and Toledo at opposite ends of the longitudinal axis.
