AMSR-E Algorithm for Snowmelt Onset Detection in Subarctic Heterogeneous Terrain
Snowmelt onset in the upper Yukon River basin, Canada, can be derived from brightness temperatures (Tb) obtained by the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSRE) on NASA’s Aqua satellite. This sensor, with a resolution of 14 x 8 km for the 36.5 GHz frequency and two to four observations per day, improves upon the twice-daily coverage and 37 x 28 km spatial resolution of the Special...
متن کاملHuman exposure to soil contaminants in subarctic Ontario, Canada
BACKGROUND Chemical contaminants in the Canadian subarctic present a health risk with exposures primarily occurring via the food consumption. OBJECTIVE Characterization of soil contaminants is needed in northern Canada due to increased gardening and agricultural food security initiatives and the presence of known point sources of pollution. DESIGN A field study was conducted in the western ...
متن کاملNitrogen and carbon isotopic dynamics of subarctic soils and plants in southern Yukon Territory and its implications for paleoecological and paleodietary studies
We examine here the carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions of bulk soils (8 topsoil and 7 subsoils, including two soil profiles) and five different plant parts of 79 C3 plants from two main functional groups: herbs and shrubs/subshrubs, from 18 different locations in grasslands of southern Yukon Territory, Canada (eastern shoreline of Kluane Lake and Whitehorse area). The Kluane Lake region ...
متن کاملIsotope hydrology of southern Nevada groundwater: Stable isotopes and radiocarbon
A new !O map of southern Nevada groundwater shows a systematic decrease in !O of !5‰ from 36" to 39"N latitude. The variation is consistent with higher-latitude recharge following continuous flow paths along north-south trending graben valleys and systematically increasing in !O due to mixing with lower-latitude, higher-!O recharge. The data do not suggest that large masses of groundwater with ...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of heat waves in the southern slopes of Alborz
Heat waves are important phenomena in Iran, And its upsurge in recent years seems to have a high upside trend.This climate has a negative impact on agriculture, forest fire and forestry, water resources, energy use and human health.The purpose of the research is to explain the frequency, time distribution, continuity of thermal waves, and the identification of its occurrence in the southern foo...
