ArcticNet Theme 1: Climate Change Impacts in the Canadian High Arctic: a Comparative Study along the East-West Gradient in Physical Conditions
Principal Investigator: Fortier, Louis
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: The objective of this research project is to start long-term marine observatories in order to study variability and change in the context of climate change in the Canadian Arctic. Six instrument moorings will be redeployed in the same locations as they w...

Vegetation Responses to the Acidic Sulfur fumes at the Smoking Hills, Cape Bathurst.
Principal Investigator: Hutchinson, Tom
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The purpose of this study is to re-measure the occurrences of vegetation, identifying all the different species and measuring them quantitatively in places that were measured 13 years ago. The focus this time will be on the ability of the tundra ecosystem to recover when a strong chemical stress ceases. The team will be flown in early August from Inuvik to the old DEW Line landing strip at Mallo...

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,...

NASA Long Duration Balloon Program
Principal Investigator: Orr, Dwayne
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The purpose of the campaign is twofold. The first is to fly research instrumentation aboard large scale scientific balloons to measure Cosmic Ray particles entering the earth's atmosphere. The second is to conduct a demonstration flight of newly developed long duration balloon systems for the LDB program. The northern latitudes are desired because of favourable geomagnetic influences on particl...

High latitude studies of the ionosphere E-region using the Sapphire North Radar System
Principal Investigator: Sofko, George J
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The Sapphire North Radar System uses 2 transmitters, at Sachs Harbour and Rankin Inlet, and a common receiver at Yellowknife. This system measures speeds of structures in the ionosphere (upper atmosphere) in order to study the transfer of energy from the solar wind to the earth. This energy transfer is most apparent during "magnetic storms" when there are displays of northern lights. The researc...

Atmospheric transport of organic contaminants
Principal Investigator: Waite, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: In this study, we will collect air, dust and rain samples on a weekly basis at five Canadian locations during the months of June and July, 1993. Three locations are in the NWT while two locations are in Saskatchewan. The samples will be analyzed in Regina and Edmonton for the presence of certain insecticides, herbicides and PCB's that are known to be transported in the atmosphere....

Current contaminant deposition measurements in precipitation throughout the NWT
Principal Investigator: Gregor, Dennis J.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Contaminants are carried in the air to the arctic during the winter when large-scale wind movements bring these contaminants from industrialized locations in North America, Europe and Asia to the north. Snow can collect these compounds from the air and bring them to the ground where they can accumulate. Thus, it is important to study the amount of contaminants in snow to determine the types and ...

A study of the supply of organic bromine from the ocean to the arctic atmosphere.
Principal Investigator: Moore, Robert M.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: Previous research has indicated that compounds containing bromine could play a role in the destruction of the ozone layer. This study is part of on-going research that is examining how important northern marine waters are as sources of bromine to the Arctic atmosphere. Seawater, snow and ice will be collected and assessed for bromine. In addition, measurements will be taken to determine if seaw...
