FIRE III: An Arctic Cloud Study
Principal Investigator: Isaac, George
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: Arctic clouds are dominant on average covering 40 to 60% of the skies over the Arctic ocean. They exert a large influence on the radiation balance in the Arctic, where climate change effects are predicted and observed to be largest in the northern hemisphere. The FIRE III field project will use in-situ measurements obtained using instrumental aircraft, in combination with concurrent satellite dta,...


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...


An Evaluation of Satellite Data to Detect and Monitor Vegetation Responses to Climate Warming at Treeline
Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher will continue to determine what density of trees is necessary for detection by the satellite sensors. To determine what are the densities of shrubs and herbs or dwarf shrubs and lichens that change the reflectance patterns from the understory. To determine if the thresholds in density will be sensitive enough to monitor vegetation responses to climate change in the forest to tundra ...


Modelling Flooding Hydrology on the Mackenzie Delta with Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
Principal Investigator: Boyes, Donald M.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team propose to provide a better understanding of the present fluvial regime in the area and a method of assessing the effects of uncontrollable influences such as global warming and controllable factores such as hydro-electric and pipeline development....


Licence #4015
Principal Investigator: Lehn, W.H.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To investigate optical refraction in the lower layers of the atmosphere (anomalous refraction, such as the superior mirage and optical ducting). Photographic recording of land forms and their refracted images: measurement of refraction and horizon shift; some measurement of atmospheric temperatures in the lowest layers (10-15 meters); local surveys of the photographed land forms....
