Morphometric analysis reveals close alignment between Great Lakes area–depth curves and the elliptic sinusoid model, suggesting utility for idealized lake calculations.
Neumann (1959) has suggested the elliptic sinusoid as a model for an average lake. Area–depth curves for the Great Lakes are compared with the corresponding curves given by the Neumann model which, it is suggested, should be useful in idealized calculations on a lake.
