The Evolution of AVHRR-Derived Water Temperatures over Lakes in the Mackenzie Basin and Hydrometeorological Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The temperature evolution of water bodies is determined and compared over the Mackenzie River hydrological basin. The thermal IR observations used to determine the water temperatures were extracted from NOAA's Advanced ...
Enhancement of Evaporation from a Large Northern Lake by the Entrainment of Warm, Dry Air
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The turbulent exchange of water vapor and heat were measured above Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada, using the eddy covariance method for most of the ice-free period in 1997, 1998, and 1999. In all years, ...
Interannual and Seasonal Variability of the Surface Energy Balance and Temperature of Central Great Slave Lake
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper addresses interannual and seasonal variability in the thermal regime and surface energy fluxes in central Great Slave Lake during three contiguous open-water periods, two of which overlap the Canadian Global ...
Over-Lake Meteorology and Estimated Bulk Heat Exchange of Great Slave Lake in 1998 and 1999
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Meteorological and thermistor moorings were deployed in Great Slave Lake during the Canadian Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Enhanced Study (CAGES) in 1998 and 1999. Large-scale meteorology included influence ...
An Investigation of the Thermal and Energy Balance Regimes of Great Slave and Great Bear Lakes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Great Slave Lake and Great Bear Lake have large surface areas, water volumes, and high latitudinal positions; are cold and deep; and are subject to short daylight periods in winter and long ones in summer. They are dissimilar ...
The Role of Northern Lakes in a Regional Energy Balance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There are many lakes of widely varying morphometry in northern latitudes. For this study region, in the central Mackenzie River valley of western Canada, lakes make up 37% of the landscape. The nonlake components of the ...
