Subject field(s)
  • System Names
  • Meteorology
OBS

Environment Canada has been making use of automated surface weather observation systems since 1969, with the installation of the MARS I(Meteorological Automatic Reporting System) generation of autostations. MARS II followed in 1975, MAPS I(Modular Acquisition Processing System) in 1979 and MAPS II in 1983. In general, these autostations observe and transmit only the basic weather parameters of pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction, although a few have the capability to report cloud, visibility, and precipitation accumulation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Noms de systèmes
  • Météorologie
OBS

Environnement Canada exploite des systèmes automatiques d'observation météorologique en surface depuis 1969, soit depuis l'avènement de la génération de stations automatiques MARS I (Meteorological Automatic Reporting System). Puis ont succédé les MARS II en 1975, les MAPS I (Modular Acquisition Processing System) en 1979 et les MAPS II en 1983. En général, ces stations automatiques mesurent et transmettent seulement les paramètres météorologiques de base (pression, température, humidité, vitesse et direction du vent), mais certaines peuvent observer la nébulosité, la visibilité et la hauteur des précipitations.

Key term(s)
  • Système modulaire d'acquisition et de traitement

Subject field(s)
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

The Lidar In-Space Technology Experiment(LITE) is being developed by Nasa Langley Research Center for a series of flights on the space shuttle. Using a laser, a telescope approximately 1 meter in diameter and a modular design, the system will be used to study clouds, tropospheric and stratospheric aerosols, characteristics of the planetary boundary layer, stratospheric density and temperature pertubations, and to some degree, surface topography.

Key term(s)

Record 5 1993-09-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mineralogy
  • Petrography
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
CONT

Engineered Trench, Belowground Vault, Modular Concrete Canister and Boreholes.... These disposal concepts require relatively uniform overburden media of clay, till or sand.... the overburden geology of southern Ontario is more consistent and laterally homogeneous than that of northern Ontario and, thus, offers considerably more potential for finding a technically suitable site for a LLW [low-level radioactive waste] disposal facility. The overburden of the Canadian Shield is patchy, with a considerable amount of exposed bedrock, surface water, peat bogs, etc. that are unsuitable for siting a LLW facility.... One exception is the Cochrane clay belt... which is a relatively thick and continuous belt of silty clay till.
