Modelling Snow Water Conservation on the Canadian Prairies
No full textPrepared for John Kort and Gary Bank, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.Snowcover accumulation has tremendous impacts on Canadian Prairie hydrology and
agriculture (Pomeroy and Gray, 1995; Fang and Pomeroy, 2007). Wind redistribution of
snow or blowing snow is frequent in the Prairies and controls the accumulation of
snowcover. Blowing snow transport is normally accompanied by in-transit sublimation
(Dyunin, 1959; Schmidt, 1972; Pomeroy, 1989). Blowing snow transport and
sublimation result in losses to exposed snowcovers from erosion of from 30% to 75% of
annual snowfall in prairie and steppe environments (Tabler, 1975; Pomeroy et al., 1993).
The disposition of this eroded snow to either sublimation or transport and subsequent
deposition is important to surface water budgets. Transported snow is available for
snowmelt, while that sublimated is returned to the atmosphere. Blowing snow fetch, or
the downwind distance of uniform terrain that permits snow transport, determines the
disposition between sublimation and transport, longer fetches promoting greater
sublimation per unit area (Tabler, 1975; Pomeroy and Gray, 1995).
Calculation of blowing snow fluxes (erosion, transport, sublimation) for a uniform area,
using the presumption of horizontal steady state flow (Pomeroy, 1989), does not provide
sufficient information to calculate the snow cover mass balance over larger areas where
flow at many points in the landscape will deviate significantly from steady state
conditions.
A comprehensive model of blowing snow was assembled by Pomeroy
and Li (2000) and tested extensively in the Prairie and Arctic environments where it was
shown to accurately predict snow accumulation. Subsequent tests by Fang and Pomeroy
(2009) show that the model can accurately predict snow accumulation in a wide range of
prairie to partly wooded environments.
This project compares field measurements of snow distribution, associated with shelterbelts at various spacings, to modeled results of snow redistribution by wind. Virtual shelterbelt configurations modeled with real climate data examine the likely impacts of shelterbelt systems on snow water conservation over multi-year time periods including drought and snowy years

Edwin H. and John W. Pomeroy outside their home at Eagle, Alaska, August 16, 1902
No full textOn verso of image: Aug. 16, 1902. Home of J.W. & E.H. P_, Eagle, Alaska. Our old home at Eagle City on the Yukon. E.H. Pomeroy
Filed in Alaska--Cities--EagleJohn W. and Edwin H. Pomeroy were from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and came to Alaska in 1898. John was born ca. 1867 and Edwin ca. 1877. In 1900, they listed their occupations in Alaska as miners and their occupations outside Alaska as real estate and student, respectively.
Eagle is located on the left bank of the Yukon River at the mouth of Mission Creek, 6 miles west of the Alaska-Canada boundary. It was established as a log house trading station called "Belle Isle" by Moses Mercier about 1874 and operated intermittently until its development as a mining camp in 1898. The village, then with a population of about 800, was platted and named "Eagle City" for the American eagles nesting on nearby Eagle Bluff. The Eagle post office was established in 1898 and the Valdez-Eagle telegraph line was completed in 1903. The U.S. Army established the "Eagle City Camp" in 1899 at Eagle. A year later Fort Egbert was built; it was abandoned in 1911. Eagle currently has a population of about 140 and many older buildings have been preserved. [Source: Donald Orth.
