  • Satellite Microwave Assessment of Northern Hemisphere Lake Ice Phenology from 2002 to 2015“ by Jinyang Du, John S
    Reply to RC2 for the manuscript “Satellite Microwave Assessment of Northern Hemisphere Lake Ice Phenology from 2002 to 2015“ by Jinyang Du, John S. Kimball, Claude Duguay, Youngwook Kim, and Jennifer D. Watts Dear Anonymous Referee #2, thank you for your helpful comments on our manuscript. Please find below our responses to all the comments (in bold and italic). The changes on the manuscript were highlighted in blue. This manuscript presents a new methodology to apply the use of passive microwave imagery (AMSR-E/2) to create an automated daily ice phenology product utilized for monitoring freshwater lake ice. The daily temporal ability, unhindered by cloud and polar darkness allows for a global product at a resolution and accuracy that can of benefit climate modelling and global change studies. This manuscript is well written and a valuable contribution to the freshwater ice research field. The inclusion of cited literature is light in the introduction section and could use some strengthening; however overall, the manuscript is clear, concise and suitable for publication with only minor revision to the text and figures. No particular scientific issues arise from this review. The validation of the new passive microwave based product is limited by the lack of existing observation data from lakes, however including the comparison to the CIS dataset and the IMS product strengthens the validation sufficiently. Reply: Thank you for the comments. The following is a list of some minor typographical suggestions and some points to clarify the figures: Line 11 : Previous studies have documented significantly earlier ice break-up between 1951 and 2000 for lakes in Canada (Duguay et al., 2006) and decreasing lake ice cover of Lake Ladoga in Europe during the last few decades (Karetnikov and Naumenko, 2008).

  • April 1, 1999 Nunavut Becomes a Separate Territory
    April 1, 1999 Nunavut Becomes a Separate Territory Nunavut is one of the territories of the Dominion of Canada. It is located in the far north and is considered to be part of the Arctic region. It has long, cold winters and short, cool summers. Nunavut makes up about one-fifth of the land area of Canada and is an important source of natural resources including diamonds, copper, gold, silver, and uranium. It is made up of rocky, treeless areas, and a lot of the ground is permanently frozen. There are large areas of Nunavut that are protected areas, including five national parks that attract the more adventurous visitors. Others are attracted to the exploring, fishing, hunting, and other outdoor activities. Look at the map of Nunavut below. Label the capital of Nunavut. Locate the towns of Eureka, Alert, Resolute, Qikiqtarjuaq, Kimmirut, Cape Dorset, Arviat, Kuglugtuk, and Carmacks, and label them on the map. Now label the United States Range and Mount Barbeau. Also, locate the Back River, Thelon River, Contwoyto Lake, Garry Lake, Yathkyed Lake, Kasba Lake, and Neultin Lake, and label them. Now, label Foxe Channel, Foxe Basin, Queen Maud Gulf, Gulf of Boothia, Nansen Sound, Coronation Gulf, M’Clintock Channel, Jones Sound, Parry Channel, and Lancaster Sound. Lastly, label the provinces, territories, states, or major bodies of water that border Nunavut.
