True- and False-color imagery of Lake Erie from VIIRS data on NOAA-20<\/a>, above, show a Lake largely clear of ice in mid-February (!). Cyan colors in the False-color imagery do suggest lake ice along the northern shore of Erie, however, to the east of Kingsville Ontario<\/a>, and to the east of Port Stanley Ontario<\/a>. The regions with ice are circled in this annotated false color image<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear skies meant that the Advanced Clear-Sky Processing for Ocean (ACSPO) algorithm could produce estimates of lake surface temperatures, shown below. The warmest temperatures — near 37o<\/sup>F, green in the enhancement — are just northeast of Erie, PA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, most of the Great Lakes had clear skies at 1836 UTC. Click here to see the SSTs<\/a>. The mostly clear skies continued overnight on 14 February, and the image below shows ACSPO SSTs and the Day Night Band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
