Overview of meteorological and sea ice conditions off eastern Canada during 1998 / K.F. Drinkwater, R.G. Pettipas and W.M. Petrie. : Fs70-1/1999-51E-PDF

This paper examines the meteorological and sea ice conditions during 1998 off eastern Canada. Specifically, it discusses air temperature trends, atmospheric sea level pressures and associated winds, sea ice coverage and iceberg drift. It complements the oceanographic reviews of the waters in and around Newfoundland, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Scotian Shelf and Gulf of Maine, which together constitute the annual physical environmental overviews to DFO's Fisheries Oceanography Committee. Environmental conditions are compared with those of the preceding year as well as to the long-term means. The latter comparisons are usually expressed as anomalies, i.e. deviations from the long-term mean, and where the data permit, the latter have been standardized to a 30-yr (1961-90) base period in accordance with the convention of meteorologists and the recommendations of the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO). Having a standardized base period allows direct comparison of anomalies both between sites and between variables.
