Congratulations to the recipients of the Chandler-Misener Award!

This award recognizes an outstanding article published in the Journal of Great Lakes Research. The authors were honored for their work on winter thermal structure across the Laurentian Great Lakes.

[CIGLR @CIGLR_UM]

Strong #winds heading into Thanksgiving are bringing winter #storm warnings, big #waves & #GaleWarnings across the #GreatLakes. Some areas could see up to 3ft of snow, 45+ mph gusts & 20+ ft waves. 🌬️❄️🌊

Did you know that there is a network of volunteer observers across the US that measure precipitation every day?

This effort is called the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network -- or "CoCoRaHS"!

Become an observer today! https://t.co/hyaQnT8Gzq

Winter is becoming shorter in the waters of the #GreatLakes!
This finding marks the first time researchers have used subsurface temperature readings to determine how climate change may be affecting seasons in & around the Great Lakes.

@coschoolofmines @brettbuzz @NASAJPL Thanks all!! 👌

What a venue! What an event!

#Cryo2ice is almost over, but not quite yet.

Time now to summarise this incredible "family reunion" of our milk and cookies, CryoSat and ICESat-2.

We're about to hear from all our chairs, before a wrap up from @tparrine & @Thorsten_Markus

Good news for large lake ice prediction! Medium-range forecasts show promise @alexa_yeo1 https://t.co/vFatzEUoeY

Join a discussion with a panel of professionally-diverse experts who are working towards navigating the impacts of extreme hydrometeorology on marginalized communities. Get a chance to ask questions and learn about future pathways to hydrological equity. #AMS2024

Winter buoys are live! We've got buoys in the water to track otherwise-unobserved conditions in a harsh icy environment

Nice word of the week @ametsoc :) , but not just for oceans. In fact that photo is of the Mackinac Bridge in the Great Lakes, where meteotsunamis are abundant! Original article here: https://t.co/pU74frDuhT

WORD OF THE WEEK💬
Meteotsunami—Long-wave disturbances of the ocean surface driven by atmospheric pressure variations associated with fast-moving weather events such as thunderstorms, squalls, and other storm fronts.

@EddieGreatLakes @NOAA_GLERL @CIGLR_UM @JaustinUMD Based on reports, there was a suspected meteotsunami that hit near Rossport, Ontario on October 3, 1933 -> "Lake Port Damaged – Strange tidal wave carries away fishing docks", The Montreal Gazette, October 4, 1933.

What’s that rumble?

Scientists at @nasajpl are testing a new technology that may detect tsunamis by the ripples of energy they send toward the atmosphere. The goal is to enhance early warning systems and help communities prepare.

As the unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day Weekend seems like a good time to look at #GreatLakes surface water temperatures. Cold plunge anyone? Explore your favorite beach via https://t.co/jrW3R9aGec

More than half of the world’s largest lakes have declined over the past three decades.

Nearly one-quarter of the world’s population resides in a basin with a drying lake, which underscores the importance of management solutions. Learn more in Science: https://t.co/Z3Nb6rFqDu

SWOT’s scientific heart, the KaRIn instrument, also measured the elevation of inland water bodies on Long Island (bright pink spots) – an exciting sign of how SWOT can measure details of smaller lakes, ponds, and rivers in ways that satellites could not before.

Shameless plug... I'm thrilled about my first single-author publication.💖

For a long time, I thought of writing up some good #calibration #practices after calibrating models for 20+ years. Here are 10 strategies🧵

Many thx to the #WomenInHydrology SI!
