Maps

This web site contains a variety of climatic maps that show some of the important spatial and temporal patterns of climate and weather-related variables and atmospheric-related disturbances that are known to influence ecosystems in the north central and northeastern U.S.

This program produces tables and maps from the USDA Forest Service's Forest Inventory and Analysis Data Base (FIADB).
The user inputs the following information:

1.	geographic area of interest (state/county retrieval or radius retrieval)
2.	attribute of interest (timberland area, number of trees, growing-stock volume, etc.)
3.	optional filters (for restricting the query to a specific ownership, species, etc.)
4.	classification variables to be used for columns and rows and the web application generates the resulting table. If the user selects County or Congressional District as the row variable a shaded county map is generated.

Great Lakes Ecological Assessment (GLA)
Information and maps describing the ecological, social, and economic conditions and trends in the northern forested regions of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The site also includes a photo gallery and links to other sites with additional ecological information.

RWU FS-NC-4401 is cooperating with Battelle Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA in a research project to determine the frequency of occurrence of high surface ozone concentrations in the Great Lakes region, the spatial and temporal patterns of ozone in the region, and the atmospheric circulation and temperature patterns associated with elevated surface ozone concentrations. As part of the analyses, composite daily maps of observed surface ozone concentrations and lower atmospheric winds and temperature anomalies over the Great Lakes region for the period of April to September, 1985-1995, have been developed and are available for viewing.
