Examples of mosaics of infrared imagery of the western end of Lake Ontario are used to demonstrate their value in revealing detailed surface thermal patterns. Additional data from airborne thermometry and shipboard measurements confirm the interpretation of large‐scale dynamic processes. Smaller scale phenomena, such as internal wave patterns and small eddies, are also interpretable.
