Typical seasonal circulation patterns depicted by the particle tracking model are shown below (click on each month).  Tracks are for 3 days, using POM output from the end of each month indicated.  Dots indicate starting points for each pair of tracks (including or not including Niagara river flow).  Meteorological conditions are based on 30-year average data interpolated from 5 locations around the lake.
