The Energy Budget of Canadian Shield Subarctic Terrain and Its Impact on Hillslope Hydrological Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The objective of the study is to determine the local processes that control the partitioning of the energy budget of shield terrain in the western Canadian subarctic. The magnitude of the spring snowmelt and its potential ...
Energy Budget Processes of a Small Northern Lake
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There is a paucity of information on the energy budget of Canada's northern lakes. This research determines processes controlling the magnitude of energy fluxes between a small Canadian Shield lake and the atmosphere. ...
Variational Computation of Sensible and Latent Heat Flux over Lake Superior
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSensible and latent heat fluxes over Lake Superior are computed using a variational approach with a Bowen ratio constraint and inputs of 7 years of half-hourly temporal resolution observations of hydrometeorological ...
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 ...
Predicting the Net Basin Supply to the Great Lakes with a Hydrometeorological Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he paper presents the incremental improvement of the prediction of the Great Lakes net basin supply (NBS) with the hydrometeorological model Modélisation Environmentale?Surface et Hydrologie (MESH) by increasing the accuracy ...
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 ...
