1 1 The Quebec Climate Monitoring Program Onil Bergeron, analyst Direction du suivi de l’état de l’environnement (DSEE) Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques (MDDELCC) WWOSC14 – August 17-21, 2014

2 2 The Climate Monitoring Program Objective: timely production of climatological data to support governmental activities such as: –Population security –Sustainable development –Long-term climate knowledge Partners and collaborators –Weather forecast & Climate science –Agriculture –Natural resources –Research

3 3 Network Coverage – Climate Stations

4 4 Manned Stations Rural locations 316 observers –Temperature (0800, 1800, hourly) –Precipitation (0800, 1800, hourly rain) –Weather phenomena (hail, freezing rain, …) Twice daily data transmission Technical team: Field work (7), QC (4)

5 5 Automatic Stations Forested, remote or urban locations 79 stations, hourly measurements –Temperature (79) – Humidity (32) –Precip. - weighing (49)– Wind (33) –Precip. - TBRG (24)– Snow height (29) Hourly data transmission Technical team: Field work (5), QC (3)

6 6 Record Length – Active Climate Stations

7 7 Snow Survey Stations Rural or forested locations 105 stations –Snow depth –Snow water equivalent –Snow density Twice monthly, January to snowmelt Technical team: Field work (12), QC (3)

8 8 Quebec Climate Change Action Plans 2006-2012 –Network consolidation and modernisation –Historical data and metadata entry –Climatological indices production 2013-2020 –Larger network coverage: space & time –New products
