In early 1976 a literature review of low temperature fog was carried out so that the potential for this fog type in the vicinity of the Syncrude synthetic crude oil complex could be assessed. Moreover, a site visit under suitable synoptic meteorological conditions was made in early March 1976 to...

Kovalick, J., Barrie, L. A.

The results of a snowpack chemistry survey conducted in January 1978 in the Athabasca Oil Sands region of northeastern Alberta are presented. Snow collected at 60 sites within 100 km of the Great Canadian Oil Sands extraction plant was melted and analyzed for the major ions: SO4, NO3, K+, H+, Cl...
