Michigan Lake Changes: Faster Dissolve Between 3 Dates - Jul 24, Aug 20, Sept 7, 1999 (without text)
Two possible explanations for the brightening were advanced in 1999: A large bloom of cyanobacteria such as microcystis or an inorganic precipitation of calcium carbonate triggered by warming surface waters. I never heard whether one or the other choice was validated by researchers on Lake Michigan. A variety of atmospheric aerosols and clouds over the lake also effect the perceived brightness of the water from image to image.
