Since 1974, NOAA GLERL has played a critical role in understanding & protecting #GreatLakes ecosystems & communities, and looks forward to many more years of #science in service to society.
🌊Meteotsunamis are large waves caused by sudden atmospheric pressure changes, posing serious safety threats on #GreatLakes beaches🌊 Check out the new @NOAA_GLERL buoy that monitors lake levels for these dangerous waves & may eventually help predict them: https://t.co/Y9k45kSpEWhttps://t.co/AASu58sI5z
RT @NOAA_GLERL: Did you notice any hazy skies or an orange moon last week? It may have been from wildfire smoke making its way over the #GreatLakes from out west. 🔥 This VIIRS satellite image shows wisps of wildfire smoke over the region on 8/21.

NOAA & partners have developed a system using robots to collect harmful algal bloom data in the #GreatLakes. This could solve problems associated with traditional sampling & might help develop more detailed warning systems & forecasts for lake communities. https://t.co/u3ptgusgl0https://t.co/aoR1q52nLE
With broad support, @NOAA recently announced the Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary as an important addition to America’s National Marine Sanctuary System. https://t.co/ujSEj6PNVbhttps://t.co/JbtdmWdMCw
It's #OceanMonth, so why are we posting about the Great Lakes?
The #GreatLakes connect to the #ocean via the St. Lawrence River. This profile view of Great Lakes depth shows the water's journey all the way from Lake Superior to the Gulf of St. Lawrence in the Atlantic Ocean. https://t.co/kpkHxUDRLQ
Satellite eye candy today as Low pressure advances east across the #GreatLakes Region. This loop toggles between #GOESEast Visible and enhanced Water Vapor imagery. https://t.co/crXSk0SOnZ
RT @OA_NOAA: #DYK - Freshwater lakes can also experience acidification as they absorb #CarbonDioxide from the atmosphere. Monitoring establishes a baseline from which to track further #acidification.
RT @UWCIMSS: It's a perfect spring day in the #GreatLakes! Flowers are blooming everywhere, trees are beginning to leaf out, winds are light and afternoon temperatures are seasonable. Plus, not a cloud in the sky, per this pristine view provided by #NOAA20. https://t.co/AyOlSst22Whttps://t.co/pKzONlSDO1
