Four Argos tracked drifting buoys were used to measure ice movement on lake Erie during the winter of 1984. The observed ice drift speeds averages 8 cm sp-1s. Speeds as high as 46 cm p-1s were measured and 6.5% of all speeds were greater than 20 cm sp-1s. A comprehensive data set including ice reconnaissance, aerial photographs, and ice thickness measurements was obtained. |
