United State) and The R Programming Language (R NZ) were used to analyze data and draw graphs The data were Log10-transformed (zooplankton species number and density Log10 (X + 1); zooplankton biomass and SPSS was used to verify whether the data were in line with normal distribution and “mgcv” packages in R were used for generalized additivity model (GAM) analysis we first used zooplankton species number and abundance as response variables and physicochemical indicators of the water environment such as TN transparency and turbidity as independent variables we excluded independent variables that were highly correlated with each other we used F-statistics and stepwise regression to select significant predictor variables The final GAM model included four variables of TN To explore the response of zooplankton to nutrient and salinity at different water depths the lakes were first divided into two groups: deep and shallow multiple stepwise regression analysis was performed using SPSS to determine the significance levels of the independent variables In order to determine presence of interactions between nutrients we developed a regression model including the independent variables and the product terms of the independent variables “A*B” model (using spss to convert the variables and build a linear regression model) A second-order polynomial analysis was done using the converted variables (TN*Cond and TP*Cond) with the species number and biomass of zooplankton as response variables to investigate the interaction between nutrients and conductivity at different water depths The eight lakes formed a clear gradient in nutrient status and salinity measured as conductivity (Cond) (Table 1) Based on the calculated Trophic Level Index (TLI) values the lakes were categorized as eutrophic (Lakes Xingyunhu the lakes could be classified into three groups Main limnological characteristics (mean ± SE) of the eight studied lakes FIGURE 2. Zooplankton assemblage composition in the eight studied lakes. (A) Species number of the eight major taxa, (B) species number in the four seasons. Density (C) and biomass (D) of the main zooplankton groups. Explanation of the abbreviated lake names is given in Figure 1 Percentage shares of the density (A) and biomass (B) of zooplankton in the studied lakes in the four seasons The lakes are presented in a decreasing order of trophic status from top to bottom Spearman rank correlation analyses showed highly significant positive relationships between the zooplankton variables (S, DZoop, and BZoop) and TN, TP, Chl a, WT, and TLI and negative relationships with ZM and ZSD (Supplementary Figure S2) In the analysis of species number and abundance in relation to TN and TP the R2 values for relationship to TN were higher than those to TP The protozoans and rotifers showed the same pattern while for cladocerans and copepods the relationship were more closely related to TP than to TN FIGURE 5. Generalized additive model of the relationships between TN, TP, Chl a, and Cond with the biomass of total zooplankton (A–D), Cladocera (E–H), Copepoda (I–L), Rotifera (M–P), and Protozoa (Q–T) in the studied lakes. See Figure 4 for the classification of deep and shallow lakes and Supplementary Table S3 for model parameters The ratio averaged 0.18 in the deep lakes and 0.10 in the shallow lakes FIGURE 6. Generalized additive model of the relationships between TN, TP, Chl a, and Cond with the biomass/density of total zooplankton (A–D), Cladocera (E–H), Copepoda (I–L), Crustaceans (M–P) in the studied lakes. See Figure 4 for the classification of deep and shallow lakes and Supplementary Table S6 for model parameters Multiple stepwise regression analysis of zooplankton species number biomass and environmental parameters by “A*B” regression model Second-order polynomial analysis of the relationship between TN*Cond and TP*Cond and zooplankton species number and biomass in the studied lakes The widely occurrence of low SRP under detection limit in these lakes might indicate P-limitation on productivity After dividing the eight lakes into deep and shallow we found that the species number and abundance of zooplankton in deep lakes were more significantly correlated with TN Along TN*Cond and TP*Cond gradients the species number and biomass of zooplankton showed a unimodal relationship in deep lakes while they increased monotonically along these gradients in the shallow lakes The shallow lakes in our study and those from Denmark and Xinjiang while the deep lakes in our study and those with decreased zooplankton at high conductivity were all in an oligotrophic or mesotrophic state all the lakes were dominated by fish having the potential of feeding on zooplankton Our study showed interaction effects of nutrients and conductivity (i.e. salinity) on zooplankton and that water depth may play an important role in this interaction Eutrophication apparently mitigated the effect of salinity stress on zooplankton abundance to some extent Both eutrophication and salinization led to a decrease in zooplankton body size At the same TN*Cond and TP*Cond gradients the species number and biomass of zooplankton showed a decreasing trend in the deep lakes while the opposite was true in the shallow lakes suggesting that the salt tolerance of zooplankton in the shallow lake may be higher than that in the deep lake but further studies are needed to confirm this fish apparently had strong control of large-bodied consumer zooplankton in the studied Yunnan Plateau lakes The original

A Lakes of the Four Seasons security officer was fired after this photo circulated online. The photo was provided to the Times. An officer with the Public Safety Department of the Lakes of the Four Seasons has been fired after a photo of him with a gun in his mouth circulated online. Public Safety Department Director Craig Philp would not confirm who the officer in the photo was, but that he was dismissed for inappropriate actions.  The photo shows the officer on the phone holding a gun in his mouth with a caption that says, "When that one resident calls." Lakes of the Four Seasons, a private gated community neighboring the town of Winfield and east of Crown Point, has about 7,300 residents whose homeowners association dues help fund the private security force. According to its website, the Lakes of the Four Seasons Public Safety Department is "an essential function within the community in its ability of providing safety and security to its residents." The website states that the force consists of a department head, and a number of officers, dispatchers and EMTs. The officers are required to attend an extensive training program that continues throughout their employment and work closely with adjoining police departments. The department occupies a post at the main entry to Lakes of the Four Seasons around the clock while also monitoring, via closed-circuit TV, the 117th street entrance located on the west side of the community, and the back entrance located next to the LOFS Fire Force property.  The Lakes of the Four Seasons Property Homeowners Association did not immediately return a call for comment.

Area firefighters were kept busy overnight with two house fires, said Kevin Heerema, chief of the local volunteer fire force. LAKES OF THE FOUR SEASONS — Area firefighters were kept busy overnight with two house fires, said Kevin Heerema, chief of the local volunteer fire force. The first blaze was reported shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday in the 250 block of Imperial Court in the West Porter Fire Protection District, he said. Passengers in both vehicles were injured, police said. Firefighter arrived at the ranch home to find heavy smoke from the blaze, believed to have started in the basement, Heerema said. The home suffered moderate damage. No was injured and the fire remains under investigation, the chief said. The second blaze was reported just after 4 a.m. Monday in the 3200 block of Trailside Place in Winfield Township inside Lakes of the Four Seasons, Heerema said. The man said he saw the driver look in both directions at traffic and assumed she was going to turn eastbound on the highway, police said. The fire spread from the attached garage to the home and the structure was significantly damaged, he said. No one was injured and the fire is under investigation, he said. Nearby fire departments helped battle both fires. Get the latest in local public safety news with this weekly email.

office in November 2018 the Indiana Court of Appeals unanimously rejected LOFS' request for a declaratory judgment that would have authorized LOFS security guards to stop detain and issue citations to motorists on LOFS property The Indiana Court of Appeals has ruled security officers employed by the property owners association of the Lakes of the Four Seasons (LOFS) gated community east of Crown Point cannot enforce LOFS traffic and speeding regulations that also are violations of state law the state appellate court rejected LOFS' request for a declaratory judgment that would have authorized LOFS security guards to stop The court said a declaratory judgment is inappropriate because it would not resolve the underlying issue of LOFS security potentially being accused of impersonating a police officer a level 6 felony punishable by up to 2½ years behind bars and a $10,000 fine That's because actual law enforcement authorities in Lake and Porter counties — LOFS spans the county line — were not parties to the case and would not be bound by the judgment "Because Indiana law specifically and clearly states that 'no declaration shall prejudice the rights of persons not parties to the proceeding,' the trial court acted within its discretion when it found that a declaratory judgment would not bind law enforcement authorities and would not furnish an adequate and complete remedy or effectively terminate the uncertainty or controversy," the appeals court said the court said LOFS still would not be entitled to enforce its covenants and rules that overlap with state traffic laws because only the state and local governments have police powers and LOFS merely is a private homeowners association "LOFS does not have the legal authority to stop detain and cite motorists on its property for violations of Indiana traffic laws that are listed as violations in the LOFS rules it was not entitled to the declaratory relief it sought," the court said the specific LOFS rules violations its security officers cannot enforce include disregarding a stop sign "Although Indiana law permits 'local authorities' to adopt additional traffic regulations and alter speed limits within its jurisdiction such power is not granted to private entities or individuals," the court said LOFS still can ask the Indiana Supreme Court to consider issuing a declaratory judgment on its behalf LOFS' only other remedy may be asking the General Assembly to change state law to permit private enforcement of state traffic laws Records show the Lake County prosecutor's office charged LOFS in 2020 with the crime of impersonating a public servant. LOFS subsequently agreed to participate in a 12-month pretrial diversion program. As part of the pretrial diversion process, LOFS was required to modify its security guard vehicles, uniforms and operating procedures in consultation with the prosecutor's office. LOFS also acknowledged "their security guards do not have police powers nor arrest powers," and LOFS agreed that "state law will be enforced by the appropriate police authorities," records show. LOFS filed its lawsuit seeking a declaratory judgment to the contrary less than four weeks after the charges against it were dismissed.

Booked With Points and Miles—And How You Can Too Metrics details Lake ecosystems are vulnerable to seasonal thermal cues with subtle alterations in the timing of seasonal temperatures having a dramatic influence on aquatic species a measure of seasonal change in temperature is used to describe the pace of shifting seasons in lakes Since 1980 spring and summer temperatures in Northern Hemisphere lakes have arrived earlier (2.0- and 4.3-days decade−1 whilst the arrival of autumn has been delayed (1.5-days decade−1) and the summer season lengthened (5.6-days decade−1) under a high-greenhouse-gas-emission scenario current spring and summer temperatures will arrive even earlier (3.3- and 8.3-days decade−1 autumn temperatures will arrive later (3.1-days decade−1) and the summer season will lengthen further (12.1-days decade−1) These seasonal alterations will be much slower under a low-greenhouse-gas-emission scenario Changes in seasonal temperatures will benefit some species by leading to phenological mismatches in critical activities Quantifying current changes in the arrival of typical seasonal climates The ISIMIP projections are based on an ensemble of lake models each forced with climate data from an ensemble of 20th and 21st century climate projections under different anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathway as well as a climate influenced solely by natural processes with no anthropogenic influence defined according to a pre-industrial control simulation Histograms in panels (b) and (d) demonstrate calculated shifts in both NH and SH lakes Also shown in panels (c) and (d) are calculated changes to the duration of summer estimated as the difference between the seasonal shifts in the start of summer and the start of autumn (September–November) Positive and negative values indicate when the summer season has lengthened or shortened Stipple markings represents regions that were not included in the analysis either due to the presence of lake ice cover (grey points) or when lakes experienced a minimal (<0.5 °C month−1) seasonal rate of change in surface water temperature (black points) during the season of interest Shown are future (2021–2099) seasonal shifts (days decade−1) in the timing of (a) spring (March–May in Northern Hemisphere [NH] and September–November in the Southern Hemisphere [SH]) b summer (June–August in the NH and December–February in SH) and (c) autumn (September–November in the NH and March–May in SH) temperatures in lakes under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 Positive and negative values indicate when the timing of a season will advance or be delayed Also shown in panel d are projected changes to the duration of summer under RCP 8.5 which was estimated as the difference between the seasonal shift in the start of summer (shown in (b)) and the autumn (shown in (c)) Positive and negative values indicate when the summer season is projected to lengthen or shorten In panels e–h I show summary statistics (medians and interquartile ranges) for the future simulations under all RCPs (2.6 6.0 and 8.5) as well as the pre-industrial control simulation the average arrival of current spring and autumn temperatures (advance and delay respectively) is 20 times lower under RCP 2.6 than 8.5 the arrival of current summer temperatures as well as the length of the summer season when considering these ecological responses of the studied lakes to shifts in the timing of seasonal temperatures it is also important to consider that there may be some bias in the results given the definition of the averaging window This can have an important impact on quantifying the shifts in the timing of seasonal temperatures and the ecological and biogeochemical implications global warming needs to be severely limited this analysis demonstrated that the projected changes in the seasons will be far less dramatic under a low-emission scenario This research adds a new dimension to this topic by illustrating the shifting seasons in lakes this analysis of changes to the physical environment of lakes points towards emerging challenges to lake biodiversity which may be threatened by the accumulated negative effects of rapid seasonal shifts especially where such conditions coincide with species-rich regions may be important repositories for biodiversity this century In this study I also investigate air temperature data from ERA5 which are used to compare with the lake surface temperature simulations This data set includes lake surface temperature observations for Lakes Superior (average depth = 149 m This data is commonly used for investigating long-term surface temperature trends in the Great Lakes The GLSEA is a ~1.8 km resolution satellite-derived surface temperature product that provides uninterrupted time series of daily lake surface temperatures The satellite data set is based on the NOAA advanced very high-resolution radiometer (AVHRR) a sensor aboard NOAA’s Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites All ISIMIP Lake Sector projections investigated in this study were simulated via a lake model (see below) driven by an ensemble of bias-corrected climate projections Future projections were available under three greenhouse gas emission scenarios: Representative Concentration Pathway Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP 2.6) (low-emission scenario) These pathways encompass a range of potential future global radiative forcing from anthropogenic greenhouse gases and aerosols and results span a range of potential impacts on lake temperature the ISIMIP2b simulations include climate projections that are influenced solely by natural processes with no anthropogenic influence The data used to drive the lake models in ISIMIP2b included projections of air temperature at 2 m which were available at a daily resolution The 17,436 representative lakes investigated in this study were simulated at a 0.5°-by−0.5° grid resolution (i.e. the spatial resolution of the climate projections) with the SimStrat-UoG model The dataset used to describe the size distribution of all lakes within each 0.5° grid has a horizontal resolution of 30 arc seconds and include all known lakes equal or greater than this size threshold Lake-specific simulations from 50 lakes which had detailed bathymetry and validation data were also analysed Lake surface temperatures for these lakes were simulated by a suite of independently developed lake models: (i) FLake (iii) General Ocean Turbulence Model (GOTM) the pace of the shifting seasons (see below) was calculated independently for each lake-climate model combination and then averaged across the lake-climate model ensemble I also excluded from the analysis lakes that experienced ice cover during the season of interest one anomalous year I only excluded a lake from the analysis when 90% of all years experienced ice cover during the season The analysis described above was also repeated for different definitions of the seasons to ensure that the seasonality of lake surface temperature is captured across lakes whereby a 3-month wide window is used but

foraging the lakes and hills for wild herbs His featured dish Braised Longsnout Catfish Meatball offers an elegant interpretation of Suzhou's natural environment and the rich culinary traditions of Jiangnan designed by an award-winning local architecture firm When the five-star Four Seasons opened a downtown Minneapolis location in June of 2022 the luxury brand filled up fast — hotel bookings restaurant reservations and sales of its 34 private residences That’s a shift from when the earliest residents picked their floor plans and finishes before moving in said listing agent Cynthia Froid who gave a look inside the newly completed residences Froid said it made sense to offer turnkey ready units in order to wrap up construction For this latest round of listings — one- and two-bedrooms — she brought in local interior design firms to stage three model units we wanted to show people how they could furnish and decorate blank spaces with scale and context by bringing in beautiful art and custom furniture tailored for that space,” she said an award-winning local architecture and interior design firm created three floor plans in two design palettes for all of the Four Seasons private residences the “Nordic,” features white oak and a more calming design that’s a nod to our region’s Scandinavian heritage the “Urban” palette with walnut finishes and herringbone patterned floors evokes a more energizing vibe luxe and locally made materials were key to the design paneling and flooring were made from trees native to the northern United States and milled in Wisconsin The stone used for countertops and bathroom walls was quarried in North America residents can look out on the Twins stadium the North Loop neighborhood and/or the downtown Minneapolis and the St MSR also designed floor plans to maximize vistas of the winding Mississippi River “Every resident has river views from every room in every residence,” Froid said adding that sizable heated terraces for each unit allow residents to enjoy those views through the seasons The available units range from 1,710 to 2,550 square feet with prices ranging roughly from $1.9 million to $3.5 million Vivid Home and FIX Design Haus each furnished a model unit “It’s fun to see how each designer put their own finishing touches from one unit to another,” Froid said Becca Schwartzbauer of GDS Interiors created spaces with a blend of color and natural tones for a modern minimalist look Highlights include works from local artists including a poppy gallery-sized painting from Megan Gonyo and an oval “[The painting] really catches the eye and created harmony with the other materials and elements like the Italian marble coffee table and deep velvets,” Schwartzbauer said “I balanced the space with more neutral tones and more delicate staging … I knew there was no reason to compete against the most stunning views of the city.” Vivid Home’s Danielle Loven selected pieces to complement the energizing feel of a one-bedroom in the Urban palette with earth tones and mixed metals of gold and silver Loven also wanted to show how to create multi-functional seating spaces within a smaller unit In addition to traditional seating areas in the living room she carved out a breakfast nook and lounge area that flowed and still left plenty of elbow room clean-lined pieces such as a curvy S-shaped couch were key “The sofa is a very unique shape and adds so much interest,” Loven said For a more spacious two-bedroom plus den in the Nordic style Laurie Fleming of Fix Design Haus used a lighter palette with pastel accents the latter of which complemented colors already found in the condo building along with leather and boucle textures to strike a balance of warm fabric colors with cool marble surfaces,’ Fleming said adding that they painted the den a dark green to complement the sofas “With large expanses of windows and tall ceilings you can bring in a tremendous amount of color without overwhelming the space convenience also played an important role in the design Froid said a concierge service is available to residents and a hard-wired phone in each of the units gives a direct dial to the front desk for assistance in everything from restaurant reservations to show tickets Residents have a private entrance separate from the hotel and restaurant while still having access to all the Four Seasons amenities including the indoor and outdoor pools as well as the spa and fitness center with the exception of three spaces for the penthouses Two of the three penthouses remain on the market including a 4,000-square-foot unit with skyline views of Minneapolis and St Paul and a 900-foot rooftop deck and a 4,300-square-foot unit with a 1,200-square-foot rooftop deck overlooking Target Field and the North Loop with the remaining units ranging from $6.4 to $6.9 million for the raw space “Those are not built out and are customizable designers and team to do as you wish,” Froid said Cynthia Froid (cindy@mplsprivateresidences.com; 612-578-1303) of Cynthia Froid Group, a division of Keller Williams Realty Integrity Lakes, has the Four Seasons Private Residences listings.

After falling behind 17-0 at halftime and being dominated most of the game, the Bulldogs may have locked up a spot in the College Football Playoff Volume 4 - 2022 | https://doi.org/10.3389/frwa.2022.788493 This article is part of the Research TopicHydroclimatology of the Great Lakes Region of North AmericaView all 16 articles The moistening of cold air passing over the Great Lakes of North America has a profound impact on the cool season climate of regions downwind from relatively benign air mass modification to highly-impactful snowfall events The importance of lake effects has led to the development of varying techniques for systematically identifying lake-effect days The results of two such methods are merged here to yield a more thorough record of lake-effect days for the eastern Great Lakes Comparative analysis of the data sets illustrates the different objectives of the two methodologies where one identifies days with a synoptic setup conducive to lake-effect snowfall and the other identifies days with lake-effect modification of the overlying air mass A smaller population of “absolute” lake-effect days are those identified by both methods while a larger population of “hybrid” lake-effect days are absolute days plus those identified by one method but not the other For a 51-year study period ending with the 2014–15 cool season the absolute data set yields a mean of about 15 lake-effect days per year or 8% of the November through April season while the hybrid data set yields a mean of 56 lake-effect days per year and hybrid lake-effect days decreased through the study period with days within the hybrid data set declining at a statistically significant rate of 2.8 days per decade although most obviously from the late 1970s through the early 2000s The result is a general drying of the cool-season lake-effect hydroclimate The merged data set offers a more thorough historical record of days available for atmospheric and hydroclimatic study of the lake-effect phenomenon within the eastern Great Lakes region The integrated portrayal of atmospheric pressure centers and the air masses arranged around them is referenced as the synoptic atmosphere; thus with distinct cold air advection between opposing pressure centers is a phenomenon that lends itself to synoptic atmospheric classification techniques Figure 1. The North American Great Lakes and the locations of GHCN-Daily precipitation stations (red squares within red boundary), the location of Buffalo, New York (large open circle) for which Suriano and Leathers (2017a) constructed a Temporal Synoptic Index, and the three sets of four locations for which Spatial Synoptic Classification data were applied by Ellis et al. (2021) with black-filled circles representing lake-effect stations and black-filled squares and triangles representing northern and eastern non-lake-effect stations New York) are marred by 10- and 35-year gaps and otherwise poor data completeness through the record Clear evidence of air mass modification within the regional array of weather type data is possibly restricted to the purest or most recognizable cases of lake effects possibly eliminating less clearly-defined days that are no-less impactful Each of the TSI and SSC methodologies yields a daily calendar of lake-effect days. As the SSC calendar begins in November 1964, and the TSI calendar, available only for the eastern Great Lakes, ends in 2015, a 51-year period of cool seasons for which the databases overlap extends from November 1964 through April 2015. The SSC methodology identifies fewer lake-effect days for the eastern lakes than does the TSI method (Figure 2) as the SSC-based approach is necessarily more particular in its daily discernment of a sometimes-subtle lake effect (air mass modification) using an array of stations across the region the TSI approach uses daily synoptic types at one location as a generalization for the region and then generalizes all days within certain synoptic types as conducive to lake-effect snowfall This likely passes a wider net through the historical record than does the SSC methodology Neither method is viewed as superior; rather the two methods simply meet slightly different objectives Merging the two data sets may yield a more thorough history of lake-effects for the eastern Great Lakes region to support atmospheric and hydroclimatic research Seasonal number of lake-effect days for the eastern Great Lakes as determined by the TSI (black) and SSC (gray) methodologies The primary objective of this study is to present justified blends of the results of the TSI and SSC methodologies for identifying lake-effect days within the eastern Great Lakes region Complementary analysis of the two lake-effect products aims to illustrate their differences The secondary purposes of the study are to characterize the lake-effect hydroclimate of the region through the study period using the blended datasets and to render the full hybrid data set of historical lake-effect days accessible when moisture input from the lakes may have enhanced a mid-latitude weather system that produced precipitation on a broader scale We examined the 51-year time series of the annual fraction of lake-effect days for which the two methods agree and disagree for changes in the relationship between the two data sets through time using Sen's slope estimator to calculate trend magnitude and the Mann-Kendall test to establish significance We also segregated lake-effect days by month to identify dataset differences intra-seasonally As the TSI yields multiple synoptic pattern types conducive to lake-effect precipitation we determined the distribution of conflicting lake-effect days by TSI synoptic pattern to identify any obvious outlier in the level of agreement with the SSC methodology A caveat is that NARR data extend back only to 1979 but we believe that the ~37-year record (January 1979 through April 2015) is of sufficient length for depicting mean atmospheric conditions particularly given the advantage of a finer spatial resolution compared to other similar products of longer record a lake-effect spatial pattern depicted by the frequency of precipitation occurrence is anticipated to be evident for air mass modification-defined lake-effect days (i.e. despite their representation of air mass modification by the lakes rather than precipitation generation The spatial pattern of precipitation frequency for each set of lake-effect days allows for an objective verification of lake effects across the different sets of days we created time series of the mean regional values (annual seasonal means from the 45 stations) of each of the hydroclimatic variables and applied the aforementioned statistical tests for trend through the record and for difference between the temporal halves of the record the percentage of TSI-defined lake-effect days (n = 2,072) supported by the SSC methodology (n = 742) is not characterized by a statistically significant trend the percentage of SSC-defined lake-effect days (n = 1,536) supported by the TSI methodology (n = 742) exhibits a statistically significant positive trend indicating increasing validation of SSC days by the TSI methodology The magnitude of the trend is not large at +0.27 percent year−1 (p = 0.02) amounting to approximately a 13% change over the course of the 51-year period While a positive trend in early-season is somewhat evident (p = 0.10) the seasonal trend is largely a product of a positive trend of 0.24 percent year−1 (p = 0.04) in mid-season There is not a statistically significant trend for the late-season period Lake-effect days within one dataset uncorroborated by the other are temporally isolated within the lake-effect calendar For the 1,330 TSI-defined lake-effect days that do not appear within the SSC data 68.1% are not preceded or followed by another lake-effect day from either data set and for only 8.2% of days is there an SSC-only day before or after 77.8% of the 794 SSC-only lake-effect days do not have a lake-effect day from either data set preceding or following and for only 6.3% of days is there a TSI-only day before or after it does not appear that uncorroborated lake-effect days within either data set are commonly associated with a timing difference between data sets the days of disagreement appear to be rather uniquely defined by each method Of the 742 lake-effect days upon which the two methods agree For lake-effect days identified by the TSI method the percentage of seasonal days occurring within each month and the percentage of days each month that are supported by the other method (TSI The greatest number of uncorroborated TSI-defined lake-effect days is in mid-season (December–February) when the rate of corroboration is actually greatest but the frequency of lake-effect days is also greatest the early-season (November) has the lowest rate of corroboration yielding a relatively large number of days not supported by the SSC data There are few TSI-defined lake-effect days in late-season (March–April) with a corroboration rate rivaling that of mid-season possibly owing simply to a high frequency of SSC-defined lake-effect days in spring relative to the low frequency within the TSI dataset Across the 6-month season it does not appear that uncorroborated TSI-defined lake-effect days are associated with a mean sea-level pressure pattern that is noticeably different from that associated with corroborated days A feature more subtle than synoptic-scale sea-level pressure appears to prevent the SSC methodology from matching these TSI-defined lake-effect days For TSI-defined lake-effect days in early-season (left column) mean sea-level pressure (hPa) for days corroborated by SSC data (A–C) mean sea-level pressure for uncorroborated days (D–F) and difference in mean 850 hPa air temperature (°C) on uncorroborated and corroborated days (uncorroborated minus corroborated) (G–I) and air temperature differences are in 1°C intervals at least two of four stations must be of the dry-polar (DP) or transition (TR) (cold front passage) weather type the day is identified as a non-lake-effect day For the 1,330 TSI-defined lake-effect days not identified as such by the SSC methodology there are a total of 2,124 causes of failure among the three regions used to define an SSC lake-effect day of which 39.5% stem from the lake-effect region While a polar weather type is a requirement for all three regions (expansive cold air) the lake-effect region also requires evidence of a lake influence on humidity [moist-polar (MP)] dry air is the primary criterion in the northern and eastern regions When segregating the causes of failure to corroborate a TSI-defined lake-effect day by month the proportion attributed to the lake-effect region increases through the season while that for the northern and eastern regions decreases through the season This pattern is even more pronounced when focusing on the instances for which the criterion in only one region caused the failure of the SSC to corroborate a TSI-defined lake-effect day those days that were very close to meeting the SSC definition Out of 586 such cases (44.1% of 1,330 TSI-only lake-effect days) The attribution of monthly instances to the lake-effect region increases through the season while those attributed to the northern and eastern regions decrease through the season It appears that violating the cold air requirement within the eastern and northern regions of the SSC methodology on TSI-defined lake-effect days is more likely during the first half of the season The lack of sufficiently cold air is also likely the case for definition violations stemming from the lake-effect region but lack of a lake-effect in the form of increased humidity contributes likely producing the greater fraction of definition violations later in the season as marginally-cold air masses passing over the lakes are more likely in the warmer early portion of the season and marginally-humidified air through interaction with the lakes is more likely late in the season due to reduced lake temperatures and ice cover the propensity for more early-season violations of the SSC methodology on TSI-defined lake-effect days may also stem from the humidity aspect of the cold dry air requirement at the SSC stations north of the lakes are likely classified as something other than the dry-polar (DP) weather type by the SSC methodology violating the SSC-based definition of a lake-effect day Percentage of lake-effect days with precipitation in early-season (left column) and late-season (right column) for days identified by both TSI and SSC methods (A–C) and for TSI-defined days uncorroborated by SSC data (D–F) adding credence to those TSI-defined lake-effect days While the results here help to rationalize the uncorroborated TSI-defined lake-effect days they neither explicitly confirm nor deny that they should be included in the TSI-defined lake-effect data set While the TSI methodology yields a greater number of lake-effect days than are within the SSC data set there are 794 SSC-defined days that do not appear in the TSI data set or 57.3%) are in mid-season (December–February) while the fewest are in early-season (November) (56 days when the SSC method yields a much smaller proportion of seasonal lake-effect days than does the TSI method The opposite is true in late-season (March–April) when a much greater fraction of seasonal SSC-defined days occurs relative to the TSI dataset 35.6% (283 days) of the SSC-defined lake-effect days not corroborated by TSI data occur during the late-season although with a weaker gradient across the eastern lakes and the lack of lake-effect days generated by the TSI method in late-season it is most likely that cooler lakes and greater ice coverage is enough to limit lake-effect snowfall (TSI) despite some modification of the passing lower-atmosphere (SSC) Mean sea-level pressure (hPa) (A–C) and percentage of days with precipitation (D–F) for SSC-defined lake-effect days in early-season (left column) and late-season (right column) uncorroborated by the TSI data set and percentage contours are in 10% intervals As with uncorroborated TSI-defined lake-effect days there is not convincing evidence for declassifying the lake-effect days within the SSC data set that are not among those in the TSI data their intra-seasonal distribution and the combination of their mean synoptic-scale atmospheric pressure pattern and predominant precipitation pattern seem to illustrate the different objective of the SSC method compared to the TSI method This makes integration of their results for a more thorough representation of historical daily lake-effects reasonable In combining the two lake-effect data sets we chose to honor the objective of each of the methodologies by retaining all days within each creating one “absolute” and one “hybrid” data set Absolute data are only days identified by both methods or what are likely the most obvious occurrences of lake-effects Supporting the idea that absolute days are most robust is the lesser degree to which they are temporally isolated only 31.9 and 22.2% of TSI-only days and SSC-only days are preceded or followed by a lake-effect day of any type 54.8% of absolute lake-effect days are preceded or followed by a lake-effect day Added to the absolute lake-effect days to create the hybrid data set are days identified by one method that are uncorroborated by the other method the hybrid data set consists of days of agreement or what we term “synoptic setup” days or what we term “air mass modification” days the hybrid data set averages about 60 days per year while averaging only 52 days per year over the final 25 years of the record (two-sample t-test p < 0.01) Time series of seasonal lake-effect frequency (days) for absolute lake-effect days (a) and for the three classes combined (hybrid) (d) for the period 1964–65 through 2014–15 The period of record annual mean for each is indicated Values attributed to the absolute data set (not shown) follow the same spatial patterns given the much smaller population of absolute lake-effect days compared to hybrid days Station-level values of mean seasonal precipitation (liquid; mm; 20 mm intervals) (A) precipitation frequency (days; 5-day intervals) (B) percentage of seasonal precipitation (liquid; 5% interval) (C) and percentage of seasonal precipitation frequency (5% interval) (D) associated with the lake-effect days of the hybrid data set Red dots indicate locations of stations used to calculate regional values Figure 8. For the 45 precipitation stations (Figure 7) regional mean seasonal values of precipitation (a) and percent of seasonal precipitation frequency (d) attributed to days within the hybrid and pure data sets for the period 1968–69 through 2014–15 The two methods for identifying lake-effect days within the historical record differ in the degree of the lake-effect that they aim to recognize The TSI method is designed to find days with a broad synoptic-scale pattern that yields strong cold flow across the Great Lakes region conducive to lake-effect snowfall The SSC-based method aims to identify days with a signature of air mass modification by the lakes dry air mass across the greater region contains cold moist air specifically within the traditional lake-effect areas the TSI method likely finds additional days with stronger atmospheric dynamics that yield a regional arrangement of air masses that may not fit the ideal lake-effect model while the SSC method likely finds additional days with weaker dynamics and a subtler lake effect that may not yield a profound weather impact We submit that combining the two data sets yields a more thorough record of daily instances of lake-effects from Lakes Erie and Ontario for the cool seasons 1964–65 through 2014–15 Two main caveats accompany the merged data. The first is the trend toward increasing validation of SSC-defined lake-effect days by the TSI method, particularly in mid-season. This coincides with a trend toward fewer SSC-defined lake-effect days in recent decades (Ellis et al., 2021) possibly indicating that the frequency trend partly reflects a decline in more marginal lake-effect days as defined by the SSC method—those not supported by the TSI method there is not an obvious explanation for the trend as neither methodology was applied differently through the record and the quality of the input data for each methodology should not have changed gradually through time it is possible that the pervasive warming of recent years is enough for the SSC methodology to increasingly classify a day as of a moderate weather type rather than a polar type (i.e. dry-moderate/moist-moderate rather than dry-polar/moist-polar) This would impact the methodology for establishing SSC-defined lake-effect days possibly shedding marginal days (moderate rather than polar) so to increase the fraction validated by the TSI method To investigate this theory would require intensive analysis of the mechanics of the SSC methodology they did not choose to implement weather type modification based on air temperature within their methodology Given the historical prominence of lake-effect precipitation within the cool-season hydroclimate of the region a continued decline in the frequency of lake effects or even the establishment of the lower frequency as a new normal has acute implications for the regional hydroclimate The datasets presented in this study can be found in online repositories.

study characterized spatiotemporal changes in the lake area during the dry season (March–May) in the Korean Peninsula over the last 40 years The satellite images (Landsat 5–9) were used to derive annual areas of 975 lakes during the dry season from 1984 to 2023 Our analysis indicated that the MNDWI is the optimal remote sensing-based index for delineating lake areas in the Korean Peninsula the total lake areas of the dry seasons have increased from 1070.7 km2 in 1984 to 1659.3 km2 in 2023 mainly due to newly constructed dam reservoirs While the detailed changes in lake area vary we found divergent results based on their sizes The large lakes (> 10 km2) showed their area increased by 0.0473 km2 (0.1%) every year and have more influences from climate change the small lakes (≤ 10 km2) have area decreases by 0.0006–0.006 km2 (0.15–0.5%) every year and have less influence from climate change This study shows that the spatiotemporal lake area changes are determined by either climate change or human activity This implies that the water index should be regionally determined by considering the regional characteristics of landscape and water Locations of 975 Lakes in the Korean Peninsula groups by their sizes The overall accuracy of \({{\text{NDWI}}}_{{\text{RK}}}\) \({{\text{NDWI}}}_{{\text{M}}}\) and AWEI are 74.1% Indices using the global threshold were more accurate than those using the adaptive threshold in extracting water pixels of lakes in the Korean Peninsula (Table 1) The global thresholding methods have high user’s accuracy (97–99%) which indicates errors of

during the dry season in the Korean Peninsula have increased since 1984 The smaller lakes (≤ 10 km2) showed a shrinking tendency whereas it is less likely to be related to the drier climate conditions The MNDWI was selected as an optimal remote sensing-based water index for extracting lake areas through the comparison with four well-known remote sensing-based water indexes and two threshold types It was employed to delineate annual lake areas during the dry season (March–May) using Landsat 5–9 the total lake areas during the dry season increased while climate change and human activity could have contributed to shrinking lake areas in our study area small lakes (≤ 10 km2) lose lake areas by 0.0006–0.006 km2 every year while larger lakes (> 10 km2) gain lake areas by 0.0473 km2 every year the increasing tendency of large lakes was mainly related to climate change while the decreasing tendency of the small lakes was not the global threshold can be robust to the complicated landscape lake area changes of small lakes can be linked to human activity Despite our findings on the regional-scale spatiotemporal changes in the lake area and their distinctive relationship per size of the reservoir towards climate change our study has a limitation on the climate change analysis This is mainly attributed to the availability and quality of the input climate change data given the absence of ground-truth climate change data (e.g. While the climate variability dataset (PDSI) is known to have one of the highest-resolution datasets among its competitors its spatial resolution (4638 m) still has room to be improved Our next study would increase the granularity of the climate change dataset with the climate station data in South Korea and apply it to North Korea As our study revealed that there were marginal differences in the spatiotemporal changes in lake area changes between both countries it would be interesting to see how climate change has affected the water resources in North Korea especially since there are limited resources available in the country The satellite data was used to extract the lake areas Landsat 5–9 were used to detect lake areas from 1984 to 2023 Sentinel-2 was used to validate water detection from Landsat 5–9 for the period 2019–2022 due to the availability of satellite data Images during the dry season (March–May) were selected for the lake every year to minimize the issues from the clouds and focus on lake areas during the dry season The Landsat 5–9 Level 2 Collection 2 Surface Reflectance products provide 30 m spatial resolution and 16-day revisits from 1984 The Sentinel-2 Level 2 Surface Reflectance products provide 10 m spatial resolution for visible and NIR wavelength and 5-day revisits after the launch of Sentinel-2B in 2017 we manually check the dataset to remove misidentified locations (e.g. a location misidentified as a lake in HydroLAKES The index is combined with \({AWEI}_{nsh}\) (for the non-shadow area) and \({AWEI}_{sh}\) (for the non-shadow area) \({\rho }_{NIR}\) is near-infrared reflectance By using Otsu’s method on the scenes calculated by indices this paper separated water pixels and non-water pixels (7–11) where \(P\left(i\right)\) is the probability of the occurrence of i \({n}_{i}\) is the number of pixels with value i \({W}_{water}\) is the cumulative probability for water pixels \({W}_{non-water}\) is the cumulative probability for non-water pixels and the sum of \({W}_{water}\) and \({W}_{non-water}\) should be 1 t is a threshold used in dividing water and non-water pixels The four spectral index methods with the global threshold and adaptive threshold were compared to the accuracy of detecting lake areas in the Korean Peninsula 1260 points were randomly generated over the 500 m buffered spatial boundary of lakes for 4 years (2019–2022) The reason for considering a 500 m buffered spatial boundary was to have enough number of water and non-water pixels was used to detect water/non-water at 1260 points and visual inspections were conducted to have reference information of water/non-water at 1260 points using Sentinel-2 The overall accuracy shows how each index and thresholding method labels the pixel correctly (12) This can represent the comprehensive performance of each water delineating method easily and efficiently The producer’s accuracy shows the omission errors which represent how each index and thresholding method does not mislabel the water pixels as non-water pixels (13) This can indicate whether each method includes all water pixels The user’s accuracy represents the commission errors which show how each index and thresholding method does not mislabel the non-water pixels as water pixels (14) This can tell us the performance of each method in excluding all non-water pixels where \({Pixel}_{i,j}\) refers pixel values of i (pixel values of the Landsat-8) and j (visual inspection using Sentinel-2) N indicates non-water and W indicates water The annual areas of 975 lakes during the dry season from 1984 to 2023 were derived from Landsat 5–9 using the MNDWI The individual spatial boundary of lakes was delineated for each year Landsat imageries between March and May were selected if they intersected the 30 m buffered spatial boundary of lakes The Landsat pixels were then stacked by the same year and pixels with a QA value of cloud confidence over 33% were removed to reduce cloud effects which are Landsat imageries from March to May of the same year were aggregated into one pixel by taking the median value The median pixel value provides the most robust pixel value of the dry season for a year Then the MNDWI was applied to the median Landsat imagery to delineate the spatial boundary of lakes the lake areas were calculated for a year for a lake from 1984 to 2023 When the p-value is smaller than 0.05 and the tau value is positive then the lake area is statistically significantly increasing When the p-value is smaller than 0.05 and the tau value is negative then the lake area change is statistically significantly decreasing The trend of PDSI was calculated by individual pixels to represent the tendency of climate change over the space (Fig. 6). The Mann–Kendall trend test was conducted, and the insignificantly changed pixels (p-value > 0.05) were removed (Fig. 6b) The Spearman's rank correlation was conducted to determine the relationship between PDSI and lake areas. For this, the mean of the PDSI values during the dry season (March–May) over the lake location was extracted for every year. The Spearman's rank correlation was conducted for the collected annual PDSI values and the annual lake areas (Fig. 7) the data supporting this study's findings are available from the first author (Dr The influence of land use in the catchment area of small waterbodies on the quality of water and plant species composition A review of the integrated effects of changing climate Human impacts on terrestrial hydrology: Climate change versus pumping and irrigation Quantifying spatiotemporal impacts of hydro-dams on land use/land cover changes in the Lower Mekong River Basin Wetlands and global climate change: The role of wetland restoration in a changing world Monitoring decadal lake dynamics across the Yangtze Basin downstream of Three Gorges Dam Variations in lake water storage over Inner Mongolia during recent three decades based on multi-mission satellites Representative lake water extent mapping at continental scales using multi-temporal Landsat-8 imagery Recently constructed hydropower dams were associated with reduced economic production Remote sensing of the water storage dynamics of large lakes and reservoirs in the Yangtze River Basin from 2000 to 2014 Spatiotemporal change analysis of long time series inland water in Sri Lanka based on remote sensing cloud computing Characterization of the impacts of hydro-dams on wetland inundations in Southeast Asia Tibetan Plateau’s lake level and volume changes from NASA’s ICESat/ICESat-2 and landsat missions The use of the normalized difference water index (NDWI) in the delineation of open water features Modification of normalised difference water index (NDWI) to enhance open water features in remotely sensed imagery Automated water extraction index: A new technique for surface water mapping using Landsat imagery Reducing signature variability in unmixing coastal marsh Thematic Mapper scenes using spectral indices High-resolution mapping of global surface water and its long-term changes Global monitoring of large reservoir storage from satellite remote sensing Remote detection of prairie pothole ponds in the Devils Lake Basin Water body delineation using index composition and HIS transformation Comparing Landsat water index methods for automated water classification in eastern Australia A weighted normalized difference water index for water extraction using landsat imagery A new accuracy evaluation method for water body extraction Analysis of dynamic thresholds for the normalized difference water index Li, N., Lv, X., Xu, S., Li, B. & Gu, Y.

hockey and fill roster spots on the junior varsity team a stick or the faintest clue of how to play the game Morgan Kvebak and Ivy Geffre are in their fourth season of organized hockey They are three of just 16 girls on a shorthanded varsity team in Section 8A all three are vital to filling out a varsity roster “I showed up four years ago and didn’t know how to skate,” Geffre said and a lot of us were quitting sports we didn’t want to play anymore Let’s play hockey.’ … I was in basketball until eighth grade and I always wanted to try hockey growing up Kvebak said she also tried basketball before giving cross-country skiing a shot didn’t know how to skate,” Kvebak said when asked if she was intimidated early on “There were like 15 girls who didn’t know how to skate Her freshman season was her introduction to organized hockey “I’ve been skating since I could literally walk,” Zima said We just never did youth hockey because it wasn’t something my family did I came to open ice and thought I would try it I ended up getting moved to varsity and played varsity minutes On a roster filled with new faces and no expectations the 2019-20 Detroit Lakes girls hockey junior varsity team was filled with learning experiences and I couldn’t get over the boards,” Geffre said with a laugh “It took me a while to learn how to jump over the boards to switch lines I would just kind of slide a ways until I stopped “It took me a long time to understand the game,” Zima said Learning what the faceoff dots meant and the rules of the game The girls talked about their first games like they were in the circus “The worst nerves I got were for the national anthem,” Geffre said Pep doesn’t let us skate out for the anthem because he’s scared we’ll slip Zima got her first taste of varsity action late in her first season it was the East Grand (Forks) game,” Zima said and all these girls were so big and skating right by me.” Most of the newcomers from four years ago are no longer on the team Detroit Lakes hasn’t had the numbers to field a junior varsity team in each of the last two seasons With a fully-suited roster for varsity games the Lakers have 15 forwards and one goalie “I think we’ve all had a moment where we’ve thought about quitting,” Kvebak said Ivy and Rhett have looked at each other and thought Everyone else is quitting.’ We wanted to stick it out through our senior year.” Detroit Lakes finished the 2021-22 season with a record of 4-21 They’ve scored only 19 goals and have been outshot 822-264 “This year and last year has been really hard,” Zima said and we always try to come out and play hard for each other We always come back from those losses — all of them.” One of the Lakers’ highlights this winter was beating Morris-Benson Area at home on Dec the Detroit Lakes fell to the Storm 6-5 in overtime “It felt really good,” Zima said of beating MBA “It was so great for Talyn (Anderson),” Geffre said of the Lakers’ eighth-grade goaltender and for us to get one and work together for her All of the girls feel so confident after a game like that.” Kvebak and Geffre hope better days are ahead for the underclassmen on the team With six of the 16 players on the roster being a freshman or younger this season feels like ripping one large Band-Aid off Detroit Lakes’ three seniors have seven regular-season and at least one postseason game left in their high school careers While none of them will walk away with any team records or section championships Kvebak and Geffre will take life lessons with them long after they untie their skates “This game has made me improve myself,” Zima said “I feel so much better about what I can do on and off the ice Whether it’s in the weight room or in school I’ve never had to balance playing a sport and school before “Just because somebody is bigger than you or faster than you There’s nothing to be scared of because you won’t have regrets.” the three Laker seniors symbolize something bigger than sports They represent what it means to step outside a comfort zone “There’s no need to be afraid about coming out here and making a fool of yourself,” Zima said Things you buy through our links may earn Vox

the baby are 99 percent going to be fine I hope we get more close-ups of him next season Since James is gone and her dad has hurt his knee, Helen decides to stay at her father’s farm. Mr. Alderson insists he’s fine, but he is not. He wants Helen to take it easy, but she also insists she’s fine. You know, Northern Exposure recently came to streaming for the first time ever and the second episode could teach the Aldersons about a little something called pride They should watch it anyway; it’s critically acclaimed and Richard diagnoses a stomach blockage and recommends a rumenotomy where basically they cut into one of the stomachs and yank out the blockage There are so many Novels of the Past and historical references to pregnant people being kicked by cows and seriously injured but her dad is understandably freaked out and just wants her to relax in a nice chair outside which is hilarious because if I (not pregnant) were there she returns to the practice (excellent boundary there Her dad comes to see her and apologizes by telling her that he and Helen’s mom lost a baby and he blames himself for not making her stop working so hard This conversation makes Helen realize that she can’t remember the last time she felt the baby move and Siegfried uses a stethoscope to hear the baby’s heartbeat and when Siegfried tells Richard to move the stethoscope to Helen’s ears but why can’t human abdomens turn clear during pregnancy so we can constantly make sure the baby is okay Hearing a baby’s heartbeat when you’ve been worried about it is the biggest relief of all time And it was beautifully captured in this episode Helen decides to move back to the practice so she can be there as soon as James returns The practice is also easier for the midwife to get to Hall has been but a glancing figure in my recounting thus far but she has her big story line with Gerald in the finale they got engaged and were all set to move to the Lakes breaking up the Darrowby family and ruining my life Gerald tells her the timeline is somewhat pressing and he asks her if she has told Siegfried yet Hall has not because she feels responsible for everyone at the practice and has a hard time thinking of her own happiness I know it would possibly be a good move for her to move to the Lakes with Gerald The practice isn’t the usual job where you tell yourself they need you to forsake your personal life for the Company and then one day they fire you because you feel like you’re indispensable but you’re not (YOU ARE NOT — practice personal life boundaries!!)

Photograph: See-Saw Films (TOTL2) Holdings Pty Ltd Did Robin’s new fast-healing tattoo of Mary’s name and date of birth set alarm bells ringing for Pyke, or endear her to him? It looks as if they’re setting up a possible romance. The scene where Miranda and Robin aired their personal grievances was so peculiar. It was like they’d stopped being police officers and wandered on to the set of a talk show. “My green little frog” – I know she’s supposed to be under his spell, but seriously, what does Mary see in Puss? Mary texts in all capitals, which explains a lot. Brett, the nice-guy of the cafe bros, is not very nice to his mum. “I’m gazing into the abyss and I’m going to keep gazing until the abyss gazes back.” Puss sums up the experience of going from season one of Top of the Lake to season two.

FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP — Daisy Duda joked that she's selfish The Mountain Lakes junior refused to give up the NJSIAA Group 1 girls soccer trophy The Lakers defeated Point Pleasant Beach for the second year in a row to capture their third NJSIAA title in four seasons Mountain Lakes started its dynasty by beating Shore Regional in 2019, then won the Northwest A COVID-tinged championship. The Lakers lost to Shore in Group 1 in 2021, before rebounding to defeat Point Beach, 5-1, last fall "It's the best feeling in the world," said Duda part of a trio of juniors – with Abby Hawes and Maya Ritchie – Mountain Lakes coach Sean Maurizi dubbed the Strike Force The Lakers' Strike Force came through on Sunday As Point Beach scored on a deflection 10 minutes into the second half Hawes recalled the Group 1 final freshman year when Mountain Lakes squandered a 2-0 lead and lost in overtime She added an insurance goal with less than two minutes to play then the trio subbed out together and started the Lakers' celebration "I can't believe that just happened," said Hawes it's the first varsity sport they've ever played It's so exciting that I get to experience it with them and we all get to experience it together." Mountain Lakes (15-7) felt like an underdog A 7-2 season-opening loss to Madison didn't help change attitudes But the young Lakers believed in each other The five veterans brought their new teammates into the tradition Maurizi has been trying to build since coming over from Briarcliff Middle School He started cultivating talent in the Mountain Lakes/Boonton Township youth program Flashback!
