Hydrometric (Hydrometric)
Data From the Hydrometric Program
Real-time Hydrometric Monitoring Stations in Canada (Active_Station_View)
The purpose is to identify active hydrometric stations in Canada that provide Water Level data in near real-time. The real-time water level data is received via satellite (data collection platforms) or land-line (telephone) transmissions from hydrometric stations across Canada. Satellite transmissions of water level data are made on a scheduled basis, typically every 1 to 3 hours. Land-line hydrometric stations are polled on a scheduled basis varying from every hour to once a day, depending on the station.
Inactive Hydrometric Monitoring Stations in Canada (Discontinued_Station_View)
The purpose is to identify inactive (discontinued) hydrometric stations in Canada that provide archived Water Level and Streamflow (discharge) data.
Active Hydrometric Monitoring Stations in Canada (NotRT_Active_Station_View)
The purpose is to identify active hydrometric stations in Canada that provide only archived Water Level and Streamflow (discharge) data.
Real-time Hydrometric Water Levels in Canada (rtwl)
TBA
Water Level Conditions (Streamflow_Conditions)
Hydrological Conditions in Canada present current (near real-time) water level conditions at river and lake gauging stations across Canada. Colour-coded symbols are used to represent water level conditions ranging from low to normal to high. The symbols are dynamically generated based on the most recent data available in comparison with historical statistics.
Real time Conditions (rtc)
The purpose is to identify active hydrometric stations in Canada that provide Water Level data in near real-time. The real-time water level data is received via satellite (data collection platforms) or land-line (telephone) transmissions from hydrometric stations across Canada. Satellite transmissions of water level data are made on a scheduled basis, typically every 1 to 3 hours. Land-line hydrometric stations are polled on a scheduled basis varying from every hour to once a day, depending on the station.
Climate (Climate)
Data From the Climate Program
Active Climate Monitoring Stations in Canada (Active_Climate_Stations)
Surface climate data are used by a broad range of users, including researchers, policy makers, and service providers. Climate data are essential for climate, climate change and variability studies, for ensuring the safety and security of the public in terms of infrastructure planning such as building codes, flood-way planning and ice storm resilience planning. Increasingly, the industry demands timely, quality climate information for economic benefits of their programs, and the public also demands such climate information for decision-making and planning.
Inactive Climate Stations in Canada (Inactive_Station_View)
Surface climate data are used by a broad range of users, including researchers, policy makers, and service providers. Climate data are essential for climate and climate change and variability studies, for ensuring the safety and security of the public in terms of infrastructure planning such as building codes, flood-way planning, ice storm resilience planning, and so on. Increasingly, the industry demands timely, quality climate information for economic benefits of their programs, and the public also demands such climate information for decision-making and planning.
