Objectif(s): The objectives of this four day field survey is to: 1) Inspect the 4 hydrology and 1 meteorology stations to ensure they are in working order; 2) Repair stations, if required; and 3) download site-specific weather and stream flow data from the stations.

Description du projet: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application No. 1120. The objectives of this four day field survey is to: 1) Inspect the 4 hydrology and 1 meteorology stations to ensure they are in working order; 2) Repair stations, if required; and 3) download site-specific weather and stream flow data from the stations. Equipment at each hydrostation consists of a datalogger (to record) and a pressure transducer (to detect fluid pressure and produce a signal related to the pressure it has detected). Data from the datalogger will be downloaded during the site visit, and the datalogger and pressure transducer will be repaired, if required. The weather station already has instruments installed to collect site-specific weather data, such as air speed and direction, air temperature and precipitation; however, the automatically stored data needs to be downloaded and routine maintenance performed on the station. There is no new technology associated with the site activities. After the field season, a summary of results can be provided to communities, upon request. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted at the Narrow Lake Outlet (63N 9’16.4” & 133W 57’7.3”); Winter Lake Outlet (63N 10’4.8” & 133W 55’38.5”); Round Lake Outlet (63N 10’30.3” & 133W 54’27.2”); Nicolas Lake Outlet (63N 15’20.1” & 133W 46’4.4”); and the meteorological site (63N 11’6.2” & 133W 53’40.2”) from June 11 to September 30, 2009.
