Physical climatology of lakes : chapter 6 : surface climates of Canada / William M. Schertzer.: En13-5/93-39E-PDF
"Canada's vast landscape encompasses many different surface types and climatic regions. Climate and climate change issues are a natural concern for Canadians where socio-economic activities such as agriculture, transportation, navigation, hydroelectric potential, fisheries etc. are so interlinked with climate. This manuscript forms one of 15 Chapters written by invited Canadian experts in physical climatology which addresses the "Surface Climates of Canada". Baseline conditions as well as the potential for climate change impacts on undisturbed (natural) surfaces and well as disturbed surfaces are described. The physical climatology of natural systems included such landform types as snow and ice, ocean and coastal zones, lakes, wetlands, Arctic Island, low Arctic and subArctic, forest and alpine surfaces. Disturbed surfaces discussions detailed physical climatology of agricultural and urban landforms"--Management perspective.
