Remote sensing of winter snow and soil moisture status using airborne Ku and L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar observations
Principal Investigator: Kelly, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5877. The main objectives are: 1. to fly a novel Ku- and L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system over snow covered tundra land, lakes and sea ice in winter to obtain unique radar observations of these environments; 2. to use collected field measurements acquired by J. Thériault's project (license #5743) at Trail Valle...


Measuring surface displacement using winter SAR
Principal Investigator: Rabus, Bernhard
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5676. The objective of this research is to determine: 1) the accuracy of existing physical models of the Interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (InSAR) dry snow signal; 2) if the snow signature can be removed to enable accurate measurement of heave from winter refreezing in the active layer. There are currently three ...


Glacier mass balance of the Melville South Ice Cap
Principal Investigator: Burgess, David O
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5450. The objectives of this integrated monitoring and research project is to provide 1) science based knowledge pertaining to the patterns and rates of climate change, and 2) a quantitative basis for estimating Canada’s contributions to global sea-level rise. Glacier mass balance is defined as the difference between th...


Variability and Change in the Canadian Cryosphere - Tundra Information Transferability Study
Principal Investigator: Walker, Anne E
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: Environment Canada plans to measure snow depth, snow density and snow water equivalent (water storage in the snowpack), as well as lake ice thickness and structure for comparison with microwave radiometer measurements. Researchers have started to use microwave data from satellites for assessing snow water equivalent (SWE). Field tests to investigate the use of microwave sensors indicate that SW...


Snow accumulation/runoff in high latitude permafrost basins
Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1990
Summary: The primary objective of this project is to improve understanding of the fluxes of water and energy in northern regions, and to develop improved computer models of these processes. The Trail Valley Creek site will be accessed by helicopter and snowmobile...


An algorithm for estimating aerial snow water equivalent in the Northwest Territories using passive microwave data
Principal Investigator: Gan, Thian Yew
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993
Summary: Given the vast size of the N.W.T., it is very difficult to accurately measure the amount of water that is made available from snow (called snow water equivalents or SWE). A variety of agencies have collected data from climate stations and satellites and this data can be used to estimate SWE. This study will involve taking measurements of snow on the ground and comparing these measurements to th...
