Published purpose
The Mackenzie River Basin (MRB) in Canada’s North is one of the most important river systems in North America with competing needs of humans, ecosystems and industry. Climate change has altered temperature and precipitation patterns in the region, and is expected to intensify in the coming decades. Scientists rely on computer models of the water cycle to make predictions that can help society to adapt to this change. This proposal uses satellite measurements of the atmosphere and land surface to help improve these models, to make more accurate predictions of water availability for society and industry in the MRB.
