  • Hudson Bay Ice Conditions
    Hudson Bay Ice Conditions ERIC W. DANIELSON, JR.l ABSTRACT.Monthly mean ice cover distributions for Hudson Bay have been derived, based upon an analysis of nine years of aerial reconnaissance and other data. Information is presented in map form, along with diseussian Of significant features. Ice break-up is seen to work southward from the western, northern, and eastern edges of the Bay; the pattern seems to be a result of local topography, cur- rents, and persistent winds. Final melting occurs in August. Freeze-up commences in October, along the northwestern shore, and proceeds southeastward. The entire Bay is ice-covered by early January,except for persistent shore leads. RÉSUMÉ. Conditions de la glace dans la mer d’Hudson. A partir de l’analyse de neuf années de reconnaissances aériennes et d’autres données, on a pu déduire des moyennes mensuelles de distribution de la glace pour la mer d’Hudson. L‘informa- tion est présentte sous formes de cartes et de discussion des Cléments significatifs. On y voit que la débâcle progresse vers le sud à partir des marges ouest, nord et est dela mer; cette séquence sembleêtre le résultat de la topographielocale, des courants et .des vents dominants. La fonte se termine en aofit. L’enge€wommence en octobre le long de la rive nord-ouest et progresse vers le sud-est. Sauf pow les chenaux côtiers persistants, la mer est entihrement gelée au début de janvier. INTRODUCTION In many respects, ice cover is a basic hydrometeorological variable. In Hudson Bay (Fig. 1) it might be considered the most basic of all, as it influences all other conditions so decisively.

  • Annual Report of the Eastern Artic Marine Investigations for 1949
    C ONF IDENT IA L FISHERIES RESEARCH BOARD OF CANADA ANNUAL REPORT OF EASTERN ARCTIC FISHERIES INVESTIGATION FOR 1949 OTTAWA DECEMBER , 1949. Eastern Arctic Fisheries Inv'estigation, 1949, The Cruise of the "CALANUS", 1949. M. J.Dunbar I. Introduction and Summary. The terms of reference of these investetions are (1) to study the physical and biological oceanography of the eastern arctic and (2) to discover, if possible, marine resources which may be developed by and for the native population, Results obtained in Ungava bay during the 1949 season are listed in Dr. Dunbar's report, under these headings: (1) a. Sections were made from Burwell to Akpatok, from Akpatok to Payne bay, and from Akpatok to the mouth of the Koksoak river. Salinities, temperatures and oxygen concentrations were measured (the salinities not yet determined at time of writing). The sections were made in mid-July and one section, that from Payne bay to Akpatok, was repeated late in August in order to show the changes during the summer months* b, Echo-sounder tracks were recorded and kept from regions in Ungava bay where soundings are very incomplete, c. The study of the biology and distribution of the plankton, benthos and littoral fauna was continued, by the addition to the already large collections (from 1947 and 1948) of material from deeper water and from other areas than were possible to reach in the first two seasons. An effort was also made to collect micro-organisms by centrifuging methods. d. Experimental fishing for codfish, shark and flatfish, by hand line and by long lino trawl was continued.
