The congress is an important annual event that allows hydrologists, meteorologists and oceanographers from across the country to come together to share our ideas and knowledge, to plan and co-ordinate our programs, to renew old friendships and to make new ones and to honour the accomplishments of our colleagues. CMOS and CMOS Congresses would not exist if it were not for the efforts of many members both locally and across the country. This Congress is the culmination of more than a year’s planning by the Local Arrangements Committee led by Brian Paruk and the Scientific Planning Committee led by Geoff Strong. Europeans first established Edmonton in 1795 as a major trading post. West Edmonton mall can be seen as the continuation of that heritage. On behalf of CMOS, I would like to thank all the many volunteers of the Alberta centre for creating this wonderful meeting in this uniquely Edmonton venue. We have come to Edmonton from the East, the West, the South and the North. I welcome you to this Congress to trade your knowledge, ideas, plans and dreams so that we can enrich our community of Canadian hydrologists, meteorologists and oceanographers so that we can better serve Canadians and the Earth. Best wishes to all for an exciting and productive Congress in Edmonton Au nom de la SCMO, il me fait grand plaisir de vous souhaiter la bienvenue au 38ième congrès annuel. Le congrès est un événement annuel de première importance qui permet aux hydrologues, météorologues et océanographes de partout au pays de se rencontrer pour partager des idées et des connaissances, planifier et coordonner leurs programmes respectifs, fraterniser entre amis et connaissances et souligner les accomplissements de collègues. Sans les efforts déployés par un grand nombre de membres tant au niveau local qu’au plan national, la SCMO et son congrès annuel n’existeraient tout simplement pas. Le congrès de cette années est l’aboutissement de plus d’un an de travaux préparatoires par le comité organisateur local dirigé par Brian Paruk et le comité du programme scientifique dirigé par Geoff Strong. La ville d’Edmonton fut établie en 1795 par des Européens qui en firent un poste de traite important. Le centre commercial West Edmonton où se tiendra le congrès peut être vu comme un digne prolongement de ce premier poste historique. Je voudrais remercier au nom de la SCMO les nombreux bénévoles du Centre de l’Alberta qui ont mis sur pied une si remarquable conférence en un site tout à fait unique de la ville d’Edmonton. Nous sommes venus à Edmonton des quatre points cardinaux. Il me fait plaisir de vous accueillir à ce congrès au cours duquel vous aurez l’occasion d’échanger et de partager vos connaissances, vos idées et vos rêves et ainsi enrichir la communauté canadienne d’hydrologues, de météorologues et d’océanographes au service de la population canadienne et du monde entier. J’offre à tous mes meilleurs vœux en formulant le souhait que ce congrès d’Edmonton soit des plus excitant et productif.

  • Consensus Statement
    Arctic Climate Forum Consensus Statement 2020-2021 Arctic Winter Seasonal Climate Outlook (along with a summary of 2020 Arctic Summer Season) CONTEXT Arctic temperatures continue to warm at more than twice the global mean. Annual surface air temperatures over the last 5 years (2016–2020) in the Arctic (60°–85°N) have been the highest in the time series of observations for 1936-20201. Though the extent of winter sea-ice approached the median of the last 40 years, both the extent and the volume of Arctic sea-ice present in September 2020 were the second lowest since 1979 (with 2012 holding minimum records)2. To support Arctic decision makers in this changing climate, the recently established Arctic Climate Forum (ACF) convened by the Arctic Regional Climate Centre Network (ArcRCC-Network) under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) provides consensus climate outlook statements in May prior to summer thawing and sea-ice break-up, and in October before the winter freezing and the return of sea-ice. The role of the ArcRCC-Network is to foster collaborative regional climate services amongst Arctic meteorological and ice services to synthesize observations, historical trends, forecast models and fill gaps with regional expertise to produce consensus climate statements. These statements include a review of the major climate features of the previous season, and outlooks for the upcoming season for temperature, precipitation and sea-ice. The elements of the consensus statements are presented and discussed at the Arctic Climate Forum (ACF) sessions with both providers and users of climate information in the Arctic twice a year in May and October, the later typically held online.

    ACTAD A PT A T I O N T O CLIMATE CHANGE TEAM BACKGROUND REPORT CLIMATE CHANGE AND EXTREME WEATHER: DESIGNING AdaPTATION POLICY WWW.SFU.CA/ACT PUBLicatiON SPONSOR AMEC is very pleased to support Simon Fraser University and the Adaptation to Climate Change Team to produce this comprehensive and important study. AMEC operates in some of the world’s most socially and environmentally sensitive and challenging industries and locations. Every day, our people and projects interact with a complex web of stakeholders and face highly demanding technical, commercial and environmental challenges. We have the opportunity to live out our commitment to sustainability in several ways. We support public and private sector initiatives like this report, aiming to improve sustainability performance in public and private sectors, and help bring to light new tools and approaches to help businesses and communities adapt to changing realities. We govern our own sustainability performance through a comprehensive and transparent process, one that has placed us at or near the top of our sector in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the past five years. And as a significant provider of environmental services, project management, management consulting and infrastructure engi- neering – we have an opportunity to live out our sustainability responsibilities in the services we deliver to our clients. In Canada, AMEC employs 5,000 people operating out of about 65 offices. Wherever we work, we have been involved with projects that seek to embed sustainability principles into the fabric of our nation. We have been involved in several climate change adaptation projects, working with government agencies and industry associations to develop new understandings of the impact of climate change and what we can do to mitigate impacts and prepare businesses and communities for change.

  • An Examination of Lake Breezes in Southern Manitoba Masters Of
    An Examination of Lake Breezes in Southern Manitoba By Michelle Curry A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Science Department of Environment and Geography University of Manitoba Copyright Michelle Curry © 2015 Abstract Lakes represent a major topographic feature in southern Manitoba, having a direct meteorological influence on a number of communities, including Winnipeg. Therefore, it is crucial that we have an understanding of the characteristics of lake breezes in the region and the influence that they can have on local weather. The Effects of Lake Breezes on Weather in Manitoba (ELBOW-MB) project in 2013 sought to fill in the gaps in our current knowledge of lake breezes in southern Manitoba. The primary research objectives of this thesis are to: (1) provide a radar-based climatology of lake breeze frequency and characteristics and, (2) to characterize the detailed thermodynamic and kinematic properties of lake breezes and lake- breeze fronts. The two results papers presented within this thesis represent the first detailed analysis of lake breezes in southern Manitoba and help to fill important gaps in our knowledge about the occurrence and characteristics of lake-breeze circulations. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. John Hanesiak first and foremost for his guidance, advice, and encouragement over the course of my masters program, and my undergraduate program. Without his support, I don’t think I would have gotten as far in my academic career. I would also like to thank the rest of my committee.
