北美地区大湖水位的变化研究

William A. Gough　

摘　要：在数十年来大湖水位变化历史记录背景下,考察了近年来大湖处于低水位的问题,并且比较了下游湖区水位最近的回升与上游湖区持续的低水位状况,探讨了气候变化对大湖水位的潜在影响.

Water Levels of the Great Lakes of North America

William A. Gough（Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences, University of Toronto at Scarborough, 1265 Military Trail, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada M1C 1A4）　

Abstract：The low Great Lakes water levels of recent years are reviewed and placed in the context of variations over many decades of recorded water levels. The recent recovery of the lower lakes is contrasted with the continued lower levels in the upper lakes. The potential impact of climate change on Great Lakes water levels is explored.
