Record #120436:

River ice and sea ice in the Hudson Bay region during the second decade of the nineteenth century / A.J.W. Catchpole.

Title: River ice and sea ice in the Hudson Bay region during the second decade of the nineteenth century / A.J.W. Catchpole.
Author(s): Catchpole, A. J. W.
Date: 1992.
Publisher: Ottawa: Canadian Museum of Nature
Abstract: Documentary sources in Hudson's Bay Company archives include six records of dates of first breakup and first freezeup of routes to bayside trading posts. Tests show these are valid measures. Values of river- and sea-ice data in each year from 1810 to 1820 are compared with their values during whole period of record, enabling identification of years with anomalously early or later dates of breaking or freezing, and years with severe summer sea ice. Exceptionally cold summer weather occurred during second decade, especially after Tambora eruption in Indonesia in April 1815.
