An analysis of snow cover characteristics at Aklavik and Resolute, Northwest Territories

This report analyses the snow cover characteristics measured at the two Arctic stations of Resolute and Aklavik from 1947 t o 1954 under the sponsorship of the Associate Committee on Soil and Snow Mechanics of the National Research Council of Canada. Frequency diagrams show considerable difference b...
