Where Water Goes, Snow Follows: MTU Research Scientist Develops Novel Approach to Lake-effect Snow Forecasting
With breakthrough new technology that measures water isotopes on the move, Michigan Tech research scientist Ben Kopec and his team are driving, boating and snowmobiling around the Keweenaw to help make lake-effect snow more predictable. In the Keweenaw Peninsula, home to Michigan Technological University, lake-effect snow is par for the course. When the annual snowfall average is more than 200 inches, Keweenaw residents know to expect high volumes of snow between the months of October and March. But without adequate weather radar systems in the area, specific winter precipitation events can be notoriously difficult to predict.
