Wind is one of the most important drivers of aquatic ecosystem dynamics. Climate change has so far caused well-documented alterations in wind speed and direction over land and sea. However, the specific response of overlake wind speeds remains uncertain. This knowledge gap poses a significant challenge in understanding and predicting the broader implications of climate change for lake ecosystems.

To investigate and quantify the changes in overlake wind speeds to enhance our comprehension of the evolving dynamics within aquatic ecosystems under the influence of climate change. Compile a database of overlake wind speed measurements from lake monitoring buoys. Use the data to estimate the long-term response of overlake winds speeds to climate change and to validate publicly available wind model output.

Data compilation, database creation, and data analysis.
