OWLeS
The Ontario Winter Lake-effect Systems (OWLeS) was a field project focused on three modes of lake-effect snow: Short-fetch, long-fetch, and downstream coastal and orographic effects.[1] The project was conducted along Lake Ontario in the Great Lakes region and in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. OWLeS occurred in two field phases, one in December 2013 and another in January 2014.[2] The project is a collaborative effort of nine universities and the Center for Severe Weather Research and is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).[3]

gollark: Actually, quite a lot of server members are neural networks.
gollark: Another potential project under UNWAVERING PASTURELAND is to make a gollariosity detection neural network.
gollark: Markov chains are actually bad and not good.
gollark: We were investigating neural network technology, indeed.
gollark: On that.
