20052004 Summary:
In order to develop realistic models, spring break-up and, if possible, freeze-up will be observed by researchers to assist in understanding historical data. The primary objective for 2006 is to document the daily progression ice break-up from small aircraft and from the ground. Much relevant data has already collected by the Flood Watch Committee. Water and ice levels will be measured before and ...

Ice gauges are installed on river ice once the ice is strong enough to support researchers (20 gauges for the Mackenzie Delta and 15 gauges for Hay River). These gauges are read every 10 days to obtain total ice thickness, white ice thickness and snow depth. From these data, the rates of ice growth and decay can be calculated, and the approximate date of maximum ice thickness can be determined....
