Abstract
Vector‐averaged current dataergy in summer winds and currents and more low frequency energy in winter winds and currents. from June–October 1972 suggest that Lake Ontario’s resultant circulation during the stratified period consists of a dominant counterclockwise gyre together with a small clockwise gyre in the northwest portion of the lake. Current speeds are lowest in spring and have maximum vertical shear in early autumn. Spectra comparing summer and winter winds and currents show more high frequency energy in summer winds and currents and more low frequency energy in winter winds and currents.
