Abstract

A Lake Ontario current meter study during November 1972 showed counterclockwise circulation with higher speeds in the western portion of the lake. Results from wind‐driven numerical models run for comparison agreed in the western section, but showed a clockwise gyre in the eastern portion of the lake.
