Prograding Headland Beaches along the Southern Coast of Lake Erie

Figure 7. Plots of beach area gained over time for (a) the (Mentor) Headlands
Beach and (b) the Ashtabula headland/Walnut Beach with time-averaged rates
provided for time intervals of interest.

Figure 8. Time-series graph showing how changes in cumulative beach growth
at the headlands relate temporally to lake-level elevations, drought conditions,
and ice cover. Lake level data are based on information from NOAA Station no.
9063063, Cleveland, Ohio; the drought index is adapted from Rogers (1993),
and the information on ice cover was obtained from As sel (1990). Dark-gray
bars highlight climate extremes (low lake levels and drought), while light-gray
bars highlight subsequent periods of lake-level rise; occurring twice across the
time frame of interest, the repetitive signal is assigned a reference of ‘‘lake-level
cycle A’’ and ‘‘lake-level cycle B,’’ respectively.
