Radar Observations in Support of the Mackenzie GEWEK Study (MAGS)
Principal Investigator: Haykin, Simon
Licensed Year(s): 1999 1998
Summary: The Mackenzie GEWEX Study (MAGS) is the Canadian component of the international effort called the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX), in support of a World Climate Research Programme to observe, understand, and model the hydrological cycle and energy fluxes in the atmosphere, at land surface, and in the upper oceans. A transportable radar system, called the IPIX radar, which was set ...


Hydrologic investigation of a Canadian Shield basin
Principal Investigator: Spence, Chris
Licensed Year(s): 2001 1999 1998
Summary: Lower Carp Lake is part of the Yellowknife River and is roughly 22km in size. A number of remote meteorological and hydrometric data collection sites will be constructed around the lake. An island on the lake will be used as a base camp for the research activities. This island is roughly circular rising up to 50m from the lakeshore. A portion of the island is dominated by sandy glacial deposits. M...


Airborne observations of surface-atmosphere energy exchange over the Mackenzie basin.
Principal Investigator: Schuepp, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The Twin Otter, operated by the National Research Council of Canada, will be stationed at the Inuvik Airport (most likely in the RCMP hanger). Support equipment for the aircraft and for data analysis will be shipped to Inuvik and installed at the hanger and in the Finto Hotel. No installation or infrastructure is required elsewhere in the field. Data collected from the aircraft (operating at 60m)...


MAGS Moisture Budget Studies (using instrumental weather balloons)
Principal Investigator: Strong, G.S.
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The purpose of this study is to obtain quantitative information on atmospheric temperatures, moisture, and winds from ground level to 15,000 km (or higher) above sea level (ASL), using instrumented weather balloons (radiosondes). It is proposed to transport the instrumentation and other items by truck to Fort Simpson airport. The system is self contained and can be installed in hours upon arrival....


Factors influencing the chemistry of Tundra Ponds-Igloolik area
Principal Investigator: Stavinga, Janet M.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To assess the chemical composition of arctic tundra ponds and atmospheric inputs including anthropogenic contamination in the vicinity of Iglolik, NWT by the collection and the analysis of surface water and sediment samples during the summer of 1987. In addition, precipitation samples will be collected....


Marine Sedimentation and Biological Communities in the Pangnirtung Fiord, NWT
Principal Investigator: Dale, Janis E.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To examine marine sedimentation and marine benthic faunal communities in the Pangnirtung Fiord by surveying, mapping, photographing and sampling. To measure tidal ranges, water current velocities, biological activities, sedimentation rates and the effects of freeze-up and break-up. To sample marine flora and fauna, sediment, fast and inter-tidal ice and diagnostic diatoms....


Licence #2750
Principal Investigator: Woo, Ming-ko
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: 1) To conduct hydrologic and thermal process studies on a small drainage basin. Measurements will be taken of snow melt rates, ice and snow-depths and rates of run-off. 2) To conduct permafrost and hydrologic studies related to management of uranium tailings (this will be a modelling study)....
