Cloud Morphology

For our project, we aim to develop a simple classifier program which can make suggestions on the formation of the lake-effect cloud. With the development of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite service from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, we can obtain the accurate continental climate data for the past decade. We would like to learn and predict the cause and the pattern of the weather phenomenon, which mostly bring not unpredictable damage to citizens around the lake area.

What Is Lake-effect Snow

According to the definition,

Lake-effect snow is produced during cooler atmospheric conditions when a cold air mass moves across long expanses of warmer lake water, warming the lower layer of air which picks up water vapor from the lake, rises up through the colder air above, freezes and is deposited on the leeward (downwind) shores. The areas affected by lake-effect snow are called snow-belts. These include areas east of the Great Lakes, the west coasts of northern Japan, the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, and areas near the Great Salt Lake, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Baltic Sea, Adriatic Sea and parts of the northern Atlantic Ocean. --- Wikipedia

The similar effect may also occur over other types of water bodies. As for our project, we are thoroughly concentrating on the lake-effect. We want to learn and predict the cause and the pattern of the weather phenomenon, which mostly bring not unpredictable damage to citizens around the lake area physically and economically. Hence, this project may benefit users from different perspectives.
