Abstract: The Mackenzie River basin (MRB) in northwestern Canada is a climatologically important region that exerts significant influences on the weather and climate of North America. The region exhibits the largest cold-season ...

Abstract: Various authors have proposed that the cooling associated with melting precipitation contributes significantly to the dynamics of mesoscale precipitation systems. In this study, we use the numerical model described in Part ...

Abstract: The melting of snow extracts latent heat of fusion from the environment. The basic response of the atmosphere to this cooling-by-melting mechanism is investigated by using a nonlinear two-dimensional numerical model. It ...

Abstract: The 54-yr (1948?2001) NCEP?NCAR reanalysis data as well as other information were used to study the moisture transport and associated circulation features for the severe 2000/01 drought over the western and central Canadian ...

Abstract: On 30 September 1994 an Arctic low pressure system passed over the southern Beaufort Sea area of northern Canada and research aircraft observations were made within and around the warm front of the storm. This study is ...
