Michigan Lake Changes: Slow Dissolve Between Jul. 24, Aug 20, and Sept. 7, 1999 (with text)

Instrument:

SeaStar/SeaWiFS

Description:
|
Lake Michigan on September 7th, 1999
|
|
Abstract:
|
Two possible explanations for the brightening were advanced in 1999: A large bloom of cyanobacteria such as microcystis or an inorganic precipitation of calcium carbonate triggered by warming surface waters. I never heard whether one or the other choice was validated by researchers on Lake Michigan. A variety of atmospheric aerosols and clouds over the lake also effect the perceived brightness of the water from image to image.
