Where We Are
View a list of our sites!
The National Headquarters of the MSC is the main location of the Atmospheric
and Climate Science Directorate's (ACSD) staff and laboratories. Our Address
is: 4905 Dufferin Street, Toronto, Ontario, M3H 5T4, Canada
The CMC is the main location for the Numerical Prediction Research Division
and other components of the Meteorological Research Branch (MRB), the Air Quality
Research Branch (AQRB), and the Climate Research Branch (CRB). Our Address
is: 2121 Voie de Service Nord, No. 404 Route Transcanadienne, Dorval, PQ,
H9P 1O3, Canada
CCCma's location on the University of Victoria campus allows for cooperative
work with the University of Victoria's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences (SEOS)
to model the full climate system from the "bottom of the ocean" to
the "top of the atmosphere". Our Address is:University of Victoria,
3964 Gordon Head Road, Room 267, Victoria B.C., V8N 3X3, Canada
A Canada-wide program of research and development in water science is conducted
at these sites in partnership with other national research facilities and the
international freshwater scientific community. Our Address is:The National
Water Research Institute 845 Lakeshore Road, Burlington, Ontario, L7N 3P3, Canada
OR
The National Hydrology Research Institute 11 Innovation Boulevard, Saskatoon,
SK, S7N 3H5, Canada
Canada's Station within the World Climate Research Program's Baseline Surface
Radiation Network (BSRN). Measurements of atmospheric surface radiation, spectral
radiation divergence, air chemistry and radioactivity are made at the site,
with a focus on climate, particulate matter and human health issues. Our
Location is:30 km SSW of Regina in Saskatchewan.
The King Weather facility is home to both the Weather Radar Group and the King
Nowcasting Group.The centrepiece of the facility is a C-Band Doppler weather
radar that provides data for operational regional weather forecasting and for
research on weather dynamics. Our Address is: 14780 Jane Street, King
City, ON, L7B 1A3, Canada
The CARE facility was designed as an integrated multi-disciplinary facility
to promote atmospheric research. Care collects data for and provides support
for the Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network (IADN), the Canadian Mercury
Network (CMN), and the National Atmospheric Chemistry (NAtChem) database. It
is also classified as a CORE station for meteorological, particulate matter
and trace gas measurements. Our Address is: RR1, Egbert, On, L0L 1N0,
Canada
As a GAW station, the Alert Observatory is the site of measurements for background
mixing ratios of atmospheric trace gases and particulate matter. These measurements,
combined with those from other international baseline sites, provide scientists
with information about the variability and long- term trends of these chemicals
in the atmosphere on a global scale. Our Location is: (82*27'N, 62*31'W)
on the edge of the Lincoln Sea (on the northeastern tip of Ellesmere Island,
Nunavut) in the Canadian Arctic.
As part of the global Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change (NDSC),
the observatory at Eureka is the site of stratospheric ozone measurements over
Canada's high Arctic. The observatory enables scientists to keep a close watch
on the protective ozone layer. The research at the observatory is a joint venture
with Japan. Our Address is: Weather Station, Eureka, Nunavut, X0A 0G0,
Canada
Camp Borden is located at the site of Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Borden.
It is a measurement site for nitrous oxides, volatile organic compounds, ground
level ozone, greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane), and solar radiation.
The central feature of the site is a fully instrumented 45-metre scaffolding
tower for measurements within the forest canopy. Several huts and trailers on
site house instruments and computers. Our Address is: Dry Deposition
Research Centre, Camp Borden, c/o Meteorological Services of Canada, 4905 Dufferin
Street, North York, Ontario, M3H 5T4
The industrial research chair (in 'regional ocean modelling and prediction')
at Dalhousie University has provided a means for the Meteorological Service
of Canada (MSC) and the Oceanography Department at the University to co-operatively
make progress in the areas of storm surge prediction, improved oil spill modelling,
wave-modelling, severe weather prediction, and stream flow prediction. Dalhousie
University is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The Meteorological Service of Canada moved members of its Adaptation and Impacts
Research Group (AIRG) to the University of Toronto campus. The group has an
agreement to conduct collaborative research with U. of T. professors and students
through the Institute for Environmental Studies. Their research focus includes
impacts of climate change/variability and extreme events, adaptation and policy
decisions in response to climate change, natural hazards, and human health &
safety issues. Our Address is: 33 Willcocks Street, Suite 1016, in Toronto,
Ontario. On the University of Toronto Campus
The Meteorological Service of Canada's Adaptation and Impact Research Group
and the Sustainable Development Research Institute are in partnership to explore
environmental adaptation topics under the framework of sustainable development.
Our Address is: 2329 West Mall in Vancouver, British Columbia. Located
on the University of British Columbia's campus
Researchers from the Meteorological Service of Canada's Adaptation and Impacts
Research Group are based in the Faculty of Environmental Studies to encourage
collaborative research on the social impact of climate change. Our Address
is: 200 University Avenue West in Waterloo, Ontario. Located on the University
of Waterloo's campus We have office in: Dartmouth, Nova Scotia B2Y 2N6
