"A scenario roughly representative of current global #climate policies in which global emissions of #greenhousegases stabilize and then decline towards the end of the century corresponds to a future climate for #Canada that is far from benign. Under this scenario, Canada is projected to warm through the century, with an average temperature increase (mean estimate) of 5°C by 2081 to 2100 relative to 1850 to 1900, while there is a greater than 50% chance that warming will exceed 10°C in much of #Nunavut in winter."

“Winter roads are essential transportation links for many remote northern communities, but their safety and reliability depend strongly on snow conditions and ice growth. In this study [link above], [the authors] evaluated a fully polarimetric, dual-frequency Ku- and Ka-band radar approach for retrieving snow depth across landfast sea ice, lake ice, and tundra.
Using field measurements near Churchill, Manitoba, and Resolute Bay, Nunavut [Canada], [they] found that the approach produced snow-depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over landfast ice, with encouraging Ku-band performance over frozen ground as well. [They] also developed an interface-detection approach for lake ice that can retrieve both snow depth and ice thickness - a promising direction for characterizing conditions relevant to winter-road planning and safety…”

“Winter roads are lifelines for remote northern communities. Built over land, lakes, rivers, and sea ice, these travel routes are increasingly vulnerable to warming temperatures and variable precipitation. To ensure safety and adapt to these changes, operators require high-resolution monitoring of snow depth across these diverse surfaces, as natural snow accumulation dictates ice growth rates, route viability and road stability. This study extends our polarimetric radar method, previously demonstrated on pack ice, to landfast sea ice, tundra, and frozen lakes and assesses how well we can retrieve snow depth over these surfaces. Results indicate consistency with earlier sea ice analyses, maintaining a mean snow depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over the landfast ice. Promising performance is also found over frozen ground using Ku-band (mean biases less than 6 cm). To address the specific challenge of lake ice, which includes strong returns from the ice/water interface, we present a new interface-detection technique that simultaneously retrieves snow depth and ice thickness. While current validation focuses on undisturbed snow, this approach could provide a path forward for characterizing the cryospheric environment in a way that can directly support the optimization of winter roads…”

Cambridge Bay, Nunavut
🌬️ Chilly and cloudy in Cambridge Bay. Temperatures are sitting at -25°C with a low of -30°C tonight. The wind is light, but in the Arctic, every breeze counts! Expect cloudy periods today with very little visibility during the short twilight hours. Ensure you’re dressed in your best furs or technical gear. 🧊
