ResumoSome early (pre-Second World War) storm surges on the Great Lakes produced storms that were extensive enough to influence the whole Great Lakes system were reconstructed making use of scant meteorological and oceanographic data and descriptions from popular literature. Port Colborne, on the northeastern shore of Lake Erie exhibited consistently great storm surges. Negative surges were observed in narrow connecting waters such as the Detroit River. The simple analytical techniques used here showed that the water level changes could be accounted for mostly by the large-scale pressure system.
