A baseline evaluation of oceanographic and sea ice conditions in the Hudson Bay Complex during 2016-2018
Download2021-01-01
Lukovich, Jennifer V., Jafarikhasragh, Shabnam, Tefs, A., Myers, Paul G., Sydor, K., Wong, K., Stroeve, Julienne C., Stadnyk, T. A., Babb, D., Barber, D. G.
In this paper, we examine sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and sea ice conditions in the Hudson Bay Complex as a baseline evaluation for the BaySys 2016-2018 field program time frame. Investigated in particular are spatiotemporal patterns in SST and sea ice state and dynamics, with rankings of the...

Airborne radar-sounding investigations of the firn layer and subglacial environment of Devon Ice Cap, Nunavut, Canada
DownloadSpring 2019
Airborne radio-echo sounding (RES) is a powerful tool to derive properties of glaciers and ice caps over spatially extensive areas, and has fundamentally improved our understanding of the distribution and structure of near-surface snow and firn, the ice thickness distribution and englacial...

Ice-Atmosphere Interactions on the Devon Ice Cap, Canada: the Effects of Climate Warming on Surface Energy Balance, Melting, and Firn Stratigraphy
DownloadSpring 2014
In order to better constrain the magnitude of projected sea-level rise from Canadian Arctic glaciers during the 21st century warming, it is critical to understand the environmental mechanisms that enhance surface warming and melt, and how the projected increase in surface melt will translate into...

Meteorological factors affecting ambient SO2 concentrations near an oil sands extraction plant
Download1980
Peters, R. R., Strosher, M. M.
Occurrences of maximum 0.5 h hour ground level measurements of SO2 near a point source are related to the meteorological processes at the time such that a cause analysis of the occurrences is established. Measurements, from a 10 station, continuous air quality monitoring network, range from 0.12...

The spatial structure and temporal development of supraglacial drainage systems, and their influence on the flow dynamics of High Arctic ice caps
DownloadFall 2013
The Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) contains 1/3 of global glaciers and ice caps by area. Recent increases in mean summer air temperature have resulted in increased mass loss from these glaciers, which have become the largest regional contributor to eustatic sea level rise after the continental...

Variability in Summer Anticyclonic Activity over the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and west Greenland in the late 20th/early 21st centuries, and its impact on the firn stratigraphy of the Devon Ice Cap
DownloadFall 2013
Significant summer warming over the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) is linked to a doubling in the frequency of anticyclonic circulation over the region since 2007. The frequency of positive anomalies in summer 500 hPa geopotential height is related to Arctic sea ice volume/thickness in April,...
