Thermo-hydrological Responses to an Exceptionally Warm, Dry Summer in a High Arctic Environment
Abstract
1998 was a very warm year for Canada and the High Arctic was no exception. A typical area was Resolute, Cornwallis Island, Nunavut, where the thaw season was extended and the thawing degree-days were larger than normal. The warm summer was accompanied by early spring melt and low rainfall. This study documents the thermo-hydrological responses including warming of the top soil, deepening of the active layer, alteration of the evaporation …
