Description:
This lenticular card shows the daily percentage of the lake area covered by ice as derived using data from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on December 25, 2013, and January 25, February 25, and March 25, 2014. The maximum ice extent occurred on March 6 when 92.5% of the surface of the Great Lakes was covered with ice. This is the second most extensive ice cover observed over the lakes since the satellite record began in 1973.
