Stroke is a leading cause of disability and the third leading cause of death among adults in the United States and in the Great Lakes states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The Great Lakes Regional Stroke Network was created to enhance collaboration and coordination among the Great Lakes states to reduce the burden of stroke and stroke-related disparities associa...
متن کاملSensitivity of Lake-Effect Snowfall to Lake Ice Cover and Temperature in the Great Lakes Region
High-resolution Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) simulations are used to explore the sensitivity ofGreat Lakes lake-effect snowfall (LES) to changes in lake ice cover and surface temperature.A control simulation with observed ice cover is compared with three sensitivity tests: complete ice cover, no lake ice, and warmer lake surface temperatures. The spatial pattern of unfrozen lake...
متن کاملReport Submitted for the Great Lakes Regional Assessment
The natural ecosystems of the region are characterized by three prominent environmental gradients. First, a southwest to northeast gradient from prairie to forest in Minnesota is largely a function of moisture availability. Second a south to north gradient from Eastern deciduous (oak-hickory) to Northern mixed hardwoods forests (beech, maple, hemlock) in Michigan and Wisconsin is a prominent la...
متن کاملSatellite Regional Cloud Climatology over the Great Lakes
Thirty-one years of imager data from polar orbiting satellites are composited to produce a satellite climate data set of cloud amount for the Great Lakes region. A trend analysis indicates a slight decreasing trend in cloud cover over the region during this time period. The trend is significant and largest (~2% per decade) over the water bodies. A strong seasonal cycle of cloud cover is observe...
