NORTHERN CANADA Includes: Western and Eastern Arctic, Central and Western Hudson Bay & Major Inland Lakes of Manitoba, Northern Saskatchewan and Northwest Territories. Marine Weather Forecast Program The Prairie and Arctic Storm Prediction Centre (Edmonton) provides marine forecasts in support of Arctic marine activity during the open water season from summer into parts of the fall. The forecast area encompasses Lake Athabasca, Great Slave Lake, the Mackenzie River, as well as the waterways of the Western and High Arctic, and Baffin Bay. Note that wave height forecasts are not produced for the Arctic areas. The Prairie and Arctic Storm Prediction Centre (Winnipeg) provides marine forecasts for Central and Western Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait, Foxe Basin, Ungava Bay, and Davis Strait. Marine forecasts are also provided for Lake Winnipeg (north and south basins), Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipegosis during the open water season in support of pleasure and commercial activities. Note that marine forecasts for Eastern Hudson Bay and James Bay are provided by the MSC Quebec Region. The forecast program for the Manitoba Lakes continues through the winter months as a public rather than a marine forecast in aid of commercial ice fishing. Minimum and maximum temperatures along with wind chill are included in the forecast. a) Text format: Table 7: Production schedule Forecast Name Issue Time Time Zone Marine Region Technical marine synopsis 06:30, 18:30 MDT / MST Western Arctic 04:45, 16:45 EDT / EST Eastern Arctic Suite of Marine forecasts 05:00, 17:00 MDT / MST Inland waters 07:00, 19:00 MDT / MST Western Arctic Waterway 05:30, 17:30 EDT / EST Arctic 05:00, 17:00 CDT / CST Western Hudson Bay 05:30, 17:30 EDT / EST Southern Nunavut 05:00, 17:00 EDT / EST Eastern Nunavut b) NAVTEX format on 518 kHz: MCTS Centre Name Header Availability Iqaluit VFF Navtex FQCN36 CWNT 05:30, 17:30 EDT / EST Marine Weather Warnings: (refer to Table 1, page 5-1). Note the following regional particularities: Warning Type Comments 1 Strong wind warning Applies to Manitoba Lakes, Lake Athabasca, Great Slave Lake and Mackenzie River. Weather and Ice Messages Ship weather and ice reports in the international meteorological code, taken at the standard synoptic hours of 0000, 0600, 1200 and 1800 UTC are solicited from ships of all nationalities which have been recruited by their own national weather service, or other weather services. These reports should be transmitted directly to the circuit using Inmarsat. Alternatively, the observation should be passed to the nearest MCTS Centre, irrespective of the ship’s position. Reports made close to, or even within sight of land, are as important as reports made offshore, due to the greater variability of weather conditions in proximity to a coastline. Such reports contribute to the overall knowledge of Arctic weather from both a real-time operational perspective and from a climate perspective. 5 - 14
The Prairie and Arctic Storm Prediction Centre also welcomes weather, sea, and ice observations from the lakes. Real-time observations, and those up to a few hours after the event, are most valuable. Pass observations to 1-800- 66S<strong>TO</strong>RM (1-800-667-8676). Radiofacsimile Package Available: Analyses and prognostics Weather analysis and weather prognostic charts covering Arctic and Hudson Bay waters are prepared at the Arctic Weather Centre, co-located with the Prairie and Arctic Storm Prediction Centre (Edmonton). MCTS Iqaluit and MCTS Inuvik transmit selected charts on radiofacsimile. Please note the MCTS centres access these charts from the <strong>Canadian</strong> Ice Service (CIS) Website: http://ice-glaces.ec.gc.ca. Charts prepared by the Arctic Weather Centre are available directly to subscribers to the CIS Website.

They provide hourly wind, air temperature, surface water temperature and wave data. The Lake Winnipeg South Basin buoys are deployed annually in May or June, and retrieved in October. They provide hourly wind, air temperature, surface water temperature, and wave data. The Hudson Bay buoy is deployed annually mid to late July and retrieved late September or early October. It provides hourly wind, air temperature, surface water temperature, and wave data. Weatheradio Canada Environment Canada Weatheradio operates several stations serving Northern region.
