Rather, the most severe wind droughts in many places occurred before wind power substantially penetrated power systems, which suggests that historical weather data can be useful in designing reliable wind-reliant electricity systems.Similar content being viewed by others Climate change impacts on wind ...
Data availability Historical Canadian Ice Service weekly ice charts are freely available on: Archive Search (ec.gc.ca) The POLARIS RIO data (2007-2021) generated from these charts for our research study is accessible on the Environment and Climate Change Canada data server: Index of /CPS/...
The global weather forecasts produced at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) are computed using a coupled ocean–ice–atmosphere model (Smith et al., 2016). However, all operational data assimilation systems in use today at ECCC are still uncoupled, given that they are initialized with...
Bike Share Toronto is Canada's second largest public bike share system. It provides a unique case study as it is one of the few bike share programs located in a relatively cold North American setting, yet operates throughout the entire year. Using year-round historical trip data, this study...
According to the report, last winter brought the shortest snow season in 26 years for portions of Arctic Canada, and overall, Arctic snow melt is occurring one to two weeks earlier than historical averages. Less snow promotes further warming and increases the wildfire threat in the region. ...
Nepal’s environment is changing rapidly. Its complex geo-climate ranging from tropical/subtropical to alpine within a short horizontal distance of 250 km presents several challenges for analysis of contemporary environmental conditions as well as...
id=gov.noaa.nodc:Livneh-Model). Observational SNOTEL data were downloaded from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (https://dhsvm.pnnl.gov/bcqc_snotel_data.stm), and the Canadian historical Snow Water Equivalent dataset was downloaded from the following Zenodo repository31. Level III eco-...
we move past Thanksgiving and step into December, the festive season is fast approaching. This time of year brings celebrations, holidays, and travel plans into full swing. Particularly in the Northern Hemisphere, there is a strong association betweenend-of-year festivitiesandcold, snowy weather....
Dr. Jan Dettmer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth, Energy, and Environment at the University of Calgary, Canada and a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America. His research interests are in mathematical, computational, and environmental geophysics. I study new methods to ana...
In this Review, we outline historical and projected changes in the wind-wave climate over the world’s oceans, and their impacts. Historical trend analysis is challenging owing to the presence of temporal inhomogeneities from increased numbers and types of assimilated data. Nevertheless, there is ...
