A series of surface climate parameters have been measured by members of the Climate Processes Section at the Borden Forest Research Station (44°19’N, 79°56’W) beginning in January 2006. The initial data included precipitation. In 2007, carbon dioxide fluxes from the soil (soil respiration) began...

Drought projections on seasonal to annual time scales are presented for Canada over the twenty-first century, based on the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). Results make use of bias-corrected temperature and precipitation projections from 29 global climate models...

This dataset contains relative trends of annual and monthly regional maximum ocean wave heights in the Arctic, and data for three predictors derived from surface winds and sea ice concentration. It also contains estimates of historical (1979-2205) and future (2081-2100, RCP8.5 scenario) annual...

High-resolution statistically downscaled climate indices relevant to climate change impacts in Canada are available at a 10 km spatial resolution and an annual temporal resolution for 1951-2100. The climate indices are based on model projections from 24 global climate models (GCMs) that...

Mesoscale boundaries have an important influence on mesoscale weather. They can trigger, enhance or inhibit convections and severe weather. They are also indicators of shifts in wind speed and direction, temperature and relative humidity, and can affect air quality and heat indices. Around the...

Persistent, large-area droughts are among Canada’s costliest natural disasters, having major impacts on sectors such as agriculture, industry, forestry, recreation, human health and society, and ecosystems. This dataset provides 50 km gridded, 12-month Standardized Precipitation...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Precipitation change in Canada indicator measures the annual and seasonal precipitation departures (or anomalies) for the...
