Summary

A Coupled Hydrosphere Atmosphere Research Model was developed that predicted vertical water temperature profiles, ice cover, and precipitation within 40-km grids and lake levels for Lakes Huron between 2058 and 2066. In this data set, daily predicted water temperature profiles are summarized for four regions in Lake Huron (north: North of 45 degrees N; central: between 43 degrees 55 minutes N and 45 degrees N; south: south of 43 degrees 55 minutes N; south-shallow: only areas less than <40 m bottom depth and south of 43 degrees 55 minutes N). Model output was driven by the Canadian CRCM3 GCM and assumed SRES A2 scenario greenhouse gas concentrations.

Purpose

Data were obtained to determine the water temperatures that key recreationally and commercially important fish species would experience in the Great Lakes region under climate change scenarios and to provide managers with insights into possible future conditions.
