Great Lakes Ice Phenology Analysis

Year: 2026

Type: dataset

Abstract: This repository contains the data and R code used for our study focused on evaluating Laurentian Great Lakes ice phenology using a smoothed hockey stick model within a Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework. The .Rmd files contain the code for the model and the .RData files are the ice cover data. The daily average lake-wide percent ice cover data was obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) (NOAA, 2020; NOAA, 2025).
