Electronic Great Lakes Ice Atlas
Published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, the Atlas contains approximately 1.4 gigabytes of data, much of which is in compressed files (about 4 gigabytes when uncompressed). The online version of this atlas can be used to browse and download a limited amount of data. However, because of its large size it is not practical to download the entire atlas from the Internet. Therefore, it is also available on CD ROM and DVD formats.
To request a copy of the atlas on CD ROM or DVD send an email to Cathy.Darnell@noaa.gov or to iceatlas.glerl@noaa.gov. Please provide your name and full surface mail address.
The atlas contains data on over 1200 digitized Great Lakes ice charts for winters from 1973 to 2002 and three types of analysis products.
The first analysis product includes ice charts of the following: dates of the first reported ice, dates of the last reported ice, and ice duration for each winter, as well as, the maximum, minimum and average ice cover concentrations.
The second analysis product is a 30 year set of annual daily ice cover time series. The daily time series was used to create: 1) computer animations of spatial patterns of ice cover for each winter, 2) line plots of lake averaged ice cover for each lake over the 30 winters.
The third analysis product is weekly statistics. There are weekly ice charts and grids of: maximum, 3rd quartile, median, 1st quartile, and minimum ice cover concentrations for the 30 winter base period. The weekly statistics are based on the original ice chart data set and not on the daily time series.
Invitation to municipal government staff and their elected officials from all regions of Canada to participate in an online survey for The National Guide to Sustainable Municipal Infrastructure (InfraGuide).
The National Guide to Sustainable Municipal Infrastructure (InfraGuide) in partnership with the Canadian Public Works Association (CPWA) is conducting a survey to assess how municipalities currently receive their training and education in infrastructure areas. This information will be used to design a partnership strategy to educate practitioners on InfraGuide materials.
To participate in the survey please visit www.csce.ca/infraguide
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Rose-Mary Damiani at 1-866-330-3350 or 613-993-3809.
