2540 JOURNAL OF CLIMATE VOLUME 18 Characteristics and Trends of River Discharge into Hudson, James, and Ungava Bays, 1964–2000 STEPHEN J. DÉRY Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, Palisades, New York, and Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey MARC STIEGLITZ School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia EDWARD C. MCKENNA Albertus Magnus High School, Bardonia, New York ERIC F. WOOD Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey (Manuscript received 24 March 2004, in final form 26 January 2005) ABSTRACT The characteristics and trends of observed river discharge into the Hudson, James, and Ungava Bays (HJUBs) for the period 1964–2000 are investigated. Forty-two rivers with outlets into these bays contribute on average 714 km3 yrϪ1 [ϭ 0.023 Sv (1 Sv ϵ 106 m3 sϪ1)] of freshwater to high-latitude oceans. For the system as a whole, discharge attains an annual peak of 4.2 km3 dayϪ1 on average in mid-June, whereas the minimum of 0.68 km3 dayϪ1 occurs on average during the last week of March. The Nelson River contributes as much as 34% of the daily discharge for the entire system during winter but diminishes in relative importance during spring and summer. Runoff rates per contributing area are highest (lowest) on the eastern (western) shores of the Hudson and James Bays. Linear trend analyses reveal decreasing discharge over the 37-yr period in 36 out of the 42 rivers. By 2000, the total annual freshwater discharge into HJUBs diminished by 96 km3 (Ϫ13%) from its value in 1964, equivalent to a reduction of 0.003 Sv. -

Thesample for the study was comprised of 109 adolescent Cree Indiansfrom the Mistassini and Waswanipi bands located in northcentral Quebec. These youths attended elementary and high schools inLa Tuque, Quebec; Brantford, Ontario; and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.It is noted that the socialization patterns of these youthsalternate between the traditional Indian way of life and that of modernwhite society. Evidences are drawn from clinically oriented anlysisof the Adolescent Adjustment Interviews andare supplemented by field data and the use of informants. Recommendations fromthe study deal with diminishing the intensity of identity conflictamong Cree youth through(1) encouragement to retain sufficient emotionalattachment to traditional values, (2) designing school curricula to validate self-images, and (3)reducing discontinuities in the enculturationof Cree children.
