From: Seventy-year long record of monthly water balance estimates for Earth’s largest lake system
Comparison between the newly-derived water balance components generated by the L2SWBM (vertical grey bars) and corresponding observations from independent data sets (horizontal dashes) for Lake Superior from 2015 to 2019. From top to bottom: over-lake precipitation (denoted as P), over-lake evaporation (denoted as E), lateral runoff (denoted as R), outflow (denoted as Q), diversions (denoted as D) and changes in lake storage (denoted as ΔH). All of the included data sets are made available in Do, et al.66. Figures for each of the decadal periods (e.g., 1950–1959 or 1960–1969) across all lakes are also available in Do, et al.66.
