[13] These dry weather patterns began in 1998 and persisted until 2002. The final year of the drought was the worst for ...

Lake-effect rain forms in a smilar way to lake-effect snow: cold air moves across the relatively warmer waters of lakes, thereby creating a sharp drop in temperature from the lake surface through the first several thousand feet in the atmosphere (the temperature gradient is known as the "lapse rate"), and then it precipitates the moisture over ...

In addition, temperature fluctuations can vary greatly in these systems, both diurnally and seasonally. [1] Temperature regimes are very different in large lakes. In temperate regions, for example, as air temperatures increase, the icy layer formed on the surface of the lake breaks up, leaving the water at approximately 4 °C.
