repairs. We will be taking biweekly manual profiles until the lake freezes.
The Shagawa unit is still up and running, though the dissolved oxygen sensor

Lake
Superior has the most ice in years but probably won't freeze entirely,
ice experts said Wednesday."I don't think it's going to happen," said
Craig Evanego, an ice forecaster with the National Ice Center in
Washington. "It will come close, but it won't be shore to
shore over the whole lake."Still, the lake has the most ice
since 1997 and is the closest to freezing over since ice covered
the lake in February 1994. (March 6, 2003, Duluth News-Tribune,
MN).
The Cooperative
Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) has
a series of images showing how the ice cover has grown during
the past week's record cold.
