Description
Summary:[...]section 8 discusses and summarizes the findings of this study. 2. Numerical modeling efforts and improved observations are required to determine if unique conditions near the upwind shore of the Great Lakes (such as rapid changes in surface friction and surface heating rates) are responsible for the development of rolls over the lakes, and may explain why rolls over Lake Michigan often occur in conditions that are predicted by past studies to favor cellular convection (Kristovich 1993).
