We develop new estimates of monthly water balance components from 1950 to 2019 for the Laurentian Great Lakes, the largest surface freshwater system on Earth. For each of the Great Lakes, lake storage changes and water balance components were estimated using the Large Lakes Statistical Water Balance Model (L2SWBM). Multiple independent data sources, contributed by a binational community of research scientists and practitioners, were assimilated into the L2SWBM to infer feasible values of water balance components through a Bayesian framework. A conventional water balance model was used to constrain the new estimates, ensuring that the water balance can be reconciled over multiple time periods. The new estimates are useful for investigating changes in water availability, or benchmarking new hydrological models and data products developed for the Laurentian Great Lakes Region. The source code and inputs of the L2SWBM model are also made available, and can be adapted to include new data sources for the Great Lakes, or to address water balance problems on other large lake systems.

Seventy-year long record of monthly water balance estimates for Earth’s largest lake system
