Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired on 8 November 2021 by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites, shows the Great Lakes region of North America. Due to the multiple heat waves that occurred during October 2021, above-average air and water temperatures were recorded in the Great Lakes' area. According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Lake Superior recorded the highest ever values since the measurements began in 1995, and the other Lakes recorded temperature anomalies of about 1°C. According to Andrea Vander Woude, manager of the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, this positive water temperature anomaly could harm aquatic ecosystems in the Great Lakes. The Copernicus Sentinel satellites are particularly useful for monitoring the impact of climate change at northern latitudes.
