Ice freeze up and breakup in the Lower Thames River : 1979-80 observations / by S. Beltaos. : En36-539/56-1981E-PDF

"The first year's ice observations on the lower Thames River are described and partially interpreted. Freeze up commenced in early January and breakup was complete by March 20, 1980. Though the 1980 ice season was not associated with flooding, several interesting events were documented, i.e. freeze up jams, initiation of breakup, breakup jams. In the upper portion of the study reach, breakup progressed in the downstream direction but the ice cover through and below Chatham moved out before arrival of the upstream ice run. Significant spring jams formed at five locations, including two bridge sites and the river mouth. Analysis of the observations indicated that there is merit in using the water stage as an index to forecast initiation of breakup; and that the present data support the existing theory of floating equilibrium jams"--Abstract.
