2021 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5158.
The goal of this project is to verify that wind LiDaR technology has reached a suitable maturity that it can be used in place of a meteorological tower to perform wind resource assessment in subarctic and arctic conditions.
The study will use an existing NRG 60m Meteorological tower located in Norman Wells, and a ...

2018 Summary:
The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to develop further insight into the wind energy potential for the economic feasibility of building a wind farm in Norman Wells, a remote community that is dependent on gas-electric generation.
A 60 m meteorological tower will be installed in September 2018. This tower is equipped with both heated and unheated anemometers and wind vanes at 40 m, ...

2007 Summary:
The objective of this proposal is to quantify the wind energy potential for the economic feasibility of building a wind farm in Norman Wells.
This project will involve a site inspection, installation of wind tower and wind monitoring equipment (a 50m tower with 6 calibrated anemometers positioned at 10m, 20m, 30m, 40m and two at 50m level, a wind vane and temperature sensors), and data collecti...

Summary:
Dr. Pickford has developed a computer model that predicts how forest fires will spread in relation to the weather conditions. However, this model was developed for use in southern Canada where wind conditions are different. He wants to collect weather information from the central Mackenzie Valley area so that he can evaluate whether his model is useful in the north....
