be giving a seminar on Tuesday, December 13 as a part of the ingoing 
NOAA Great Lakes Seminar Series.

Please find details of his talk listed below.

Title: "The role of Great Lakes ice climatology in operational ice 
analysis and forecasting"

Speaker: *Dr. Craig Evanego*, National Ice Center 
<http://www.natice.noaa.gov/>, Washington, D.C.

Date: Tuesday, December 13

Time: 2:30 PM

Location: Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, 2205 
Commonwealth Blvd, Ann Arbor

Abstract:
The accurate analysis and prediction of ice cover in the Great Lakes is 
important for safety of commercial navigation and Coast Guard winter 
operations. The North American Ice Service (NAIS), a collaborative 
effort between the U. S. National Ice Center and the Canadian Ice 
Service, generates ice analysis of the Great Lakes twice each week, as 
well as 15- and 30-day forecasts of Great Lakes ice conditions and a 
90-day Great Lakes Seasonal Ice Outlook. Ice climatology plays a large 
role in operational ice analysis and forecasting, and ongoing research 
in ice climatology is constantly improving our ability to analyze and 
predict ice conditions in the Great Lakes. This seminar will examine 
some of this ongoing research and suggest future research possibilities 
for improving ice analysis and prediction for the Great Lakes region. 
Additionally, an overview of the relationship between ice climatology 
research performed at GLERL and operational ice analysis and forecasting 
efforts of the NAIS will be presented.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at 
kanika.suri@noaa.gov; or call 734-741-2147.
