Abstract: The study involved an examination of the historical record of ice growth and dissipation in Lake Erie for pre-boom and post-boom years. A statistical analysis was made of water temperature data near the ice boom for pre-boom and post-boom years. Ice melt models were reviewed and a simplified mathematical model simulating the ice dissipation process in Lake Erie was developed. The study was hampered by the sparsity of field data available that could be used to quantify the physical processes occurring during the dissipation period, with or without the boom in place.
