Abstract

That spot often ends up being at airports, where winds can easily blow snow away, especially in the Arctic, says Ross Brown, a retired ECCC snow researcher. Unreliable snow records also threaten climate projections Brent Nakashook, an Inuit who lives in Cambridge Bay in the Canadian Arctic, doesn't particularly trust the local weather reports. Precipitation records have gotten so bad that ECCC stopped including a rain and snow section in its climate bulletins in 2017, and researchers now use weather models to predict where snow might be.
