MARC recordIce jamming characteristics of the Mackenzie delta, N.W.T. / Steven C. Bigras.
| Title: | Ice jamming characteristics of the Mackenzie delta, N.W.T. / Steven C. Bigras. |
| Author(s): | Bigras, Steven C. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| In: | Eastern Snow Conference. Proceedings. (1988.), Vol. 45th Annual Meeting (1988) |
| Abstract: | Break-up monitored from 1981 to 1987 to identify and quantify processes involved in break-up and jamming and to assess their importance to hydrological regime of delta. Thermal and mechanical types of break-up observed. Describes break-up pattern, prevailing climatic conditions, and characteristic ice jams associated with each type of break-up. Documents location and behaviour of frequent ice jams in delta, including backwater buildup and flow diversions. |
| Notes: | Eastern Snow Conference. Proceedings. Vol. 45th Annual Meeting :129-139 (1988). |
