Bias in Minimum Temperature Introduced by a Redefinition of the Climatological Day at the Canadian Synoptic Stations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 1 July 1961, the climatological day was redefined to end at 0600 UTC (coordinated universal time) at all synoptic (airport) stations in Canada. Prior to that, the climatological day ended at 1200 UTC for maximum temperature ...
Surface Temperature and Humidity Trends in Canada for 1953–2005
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Annual and seasonal trends in temperature, dewpoint, relative humidity, and specific humidity are presented for the period 1953?2005. The analysis uses hourly observations from 75 climatological stations across Canada. ...
Optimizing Input Data for Gridding Climate Normals for Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: patial models of 1971?2000 monthly climate normals for daily maximum and minimum temperature and total precipitation are required for many applications. The World Meteorological Organization?s recommended standard for the ...
Development and Testing of Canada-Wide Interpolated Spatial Models of Daily Minimum–Maximum Temperature and Precipitation for 1961–2003
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The application of trivariate thin-plate smoothing splines to the interpolation of daily weather data is investigated. The method was used to develop spatial models of daily minimum and maximum temperature and daily ...
Impact of Aligning Climatological Day on Gridding Daily Maximum–Minimum Temperature and Precipitation over Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n 1 July 1961, the climatological day was redefined to end at 0600 UTC at all principal climate stations in Canada. Prior to that, the climatological day at principal stations ended at 1200 UTC for maximum temperature and ...
Customized Spatial Climate Models for North America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: past two decades, researchers at Natural Resources Canada's Canadian Forest Service, in collaboration with the Australian National University (ANU), Environment Canada (EC), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...
