Environment and Climate Change Canada

This dataset contains 21 statistics of wind and waves calculated from hourly reanalysis data of historical surface winds and ocean surface waves for the Canadian East Coast for the period 1954-2018 (each statistic has an annual, 4 seasonal, and 12 monthly values). These data can be used for...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The indicator provides an overview of Canada's projected greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions up to 2035. The indicator allows the...

Since 2009, the Watershed Hydrology and Ecosystems Research Division of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has coordinated spring time multi point ice thickness and composition surveys at up to 15 lake sites in the Northern Hemisphere. Data collected includes on ice snow depth, total...

NETCARE is a network comprised of researchers from ten Canadian universities (University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, Université du Québec à Montréal, University of Waterloo, Université du Québec à Rimouski, Laval University, Dalhousie University, University of Calgary, Université...

Canadian hourly climate data are available for public access from the ECCC/MSC's National Climate Archive. These are surface weather stations that produce hourly meteorological observations, taken each hour of the day. Only a subset of the total stations found on Environment and Climate Change...

This repository holds underlying data for publications arising from NETCARE activities. Unlike the raw measurements available elsewhere in this archive, these data are specific to a particular publication and may have undergone additional analysis and processing. Data are organized by...

In August 2013, NETCARE scientists conducted a campaign on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The goal of this campaign was to characterize the nature of ice nuclei in a marine environment. Measurements were conducted on the ambient levels of both deposition and...

This campaign took place in April 2015, with a focus on the characterization of ice clouds and pollutant levels, including black carbon, across the Arctic. The campaign was again a collaboration between NETCARE scientists and The Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI). Along with the POLAR 6, the...

NETCARE scientists were on board the Canadian research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen studying atmospheric and oceanic composition throughout the Canadian Arctic in 2016. NETCARE scientists were aboard the ship from 14 July - 25 August, sailing from Iqaluit to Kugluktuk with a personnel change on 27...

From September 2014 to June 2015 NETCARE scientists conducted an intensive snow sampling campaign at Alert, Nunavut, Canada. Fresh snow samples were collected every few days and analyzed for black carbon, major ions, metals, elemental carbon, and organic carbon. Site Information:...

Ten NETCARE scientists were on board the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Amundsen, a research icebreaker, studying atmospheric and oceanic composition throughout the central Arctic in 2014. The cruise departed from Quebec City on July 8, entered Lancaster Sound on July 17, underwent a partial exchange...

In 2016 NETCARE scientists conducted two measurement campaigns at the Dr. Neil Trivett Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory (the “Alert Observatory”) on the northeastern tip of Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic (latitude: 82.5163, longitude: -62.3085). The first campaign...

A large-scale aircraft campaign (on the German POLAR6 aircraft) took place in July 2014, based out of Resolute Bay, Nunavut, aimed to assess the different roles that oceanic input and long range transport from lower latitudes play in driving Arctic atmospheric composition. For five days in late...

An accumulated value of heat degrees that the average temperature is above a specified threshold, 5°C for cool season crops. This condition must be maintained for at least 5 consecutive days in order for EGDD to be accumulated (egdd_cool). Week 1 and week 2 forecasted index is available daily...

The probability of effective growing season degree days above 250 for cool season crops. This condition must be maintained for at least 5 consecutive days in order for EGDD to be accumulated (egdd_cool_250prob). Week 1 and week 2 forecasted probability is available daily from April 1 to October...

The probability of effective growing season degree days above 175 for cool season crops. This condition must be maintained for at least 5 consecutive days in order for EGDD to be accumulated (egdd_cool_175prob). Week 1 and week 2 forecasted probability is available daily from April 1 to October...

The probability of effective growing season degree days above 100 for cool season crops. This condition must be maintained for at least 5 consecutive days in order for EGDD to be accumulated (egdd_cool_100prob). Week 1 and week 2 forecasted probability is available daily from April 1 to October...

The probability of effective growing season degree days above 175 for warm season crops. This condition must be maintained for at least 5 consecutive days in order for EGDD to be accumulated (egdd_warm_175prob). Week 1 and week 2 forecasted probability is available daily from April 1 to October...

Probability of total precipitation above 100mm over the forecast period (pweek100_prob) Week 1 and week 2 forecasted probability is available daily from September 1 to August 31. Week 3 and week 4 forecasted probability is available weekly (Thursday) from September 1 to August 31....
