Description

Alberta’s Specified Gas Reporting Programhas collected facility greenhouse gas emissions data since 2003. In 2005 (for 2004 emissions data collection), Alberta harmonized its Specified Gas Reporting Programwith the Government of Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Program. Since then, Alberta has jointly collected greenhouse gas data from Alberta’s largest industrial emitters with the Government of Canada. Alberta facilities report their emissions data to Environment and Climate Change Canada through the federal reporting program and the results are forwarded to the Alberta Climate Change Office, allowing both provincial and federal reporting requirements to be satisfied.

Description

The objective of the Alberta Climate Model is to provide a process for detailed description of Alberta climate, both for current use, and as a baseline from which to estimate impacts of changes suggested for future climates. The Model combines long-term records from weather stations with physiographic descriptors of station locations to allow the interpolation and extrapolation of values for climatic variables along gradients. Although built on a base of climatic data collected largely in agricultural environments, the Model facilitates estimation of values for climatic variables in areas poorly represented by climatic stations. This provides a much more complete picture of climate for the whole province.

Description

Reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from large industrial sources is a fundamental component of Alberta’s action plan to address climate change. The development of a mandatory GHG reporting program was a commitment identified in Albertans and Climate Change: Taking Action released in October 2002. Information gathered under the provincial program is needed to assist both the province and industry in characterizing emission sources and identifying opportunities for reductions in GHG emissions.

An assessment of the change in temperature and precipitation in Alberta

Description

This statistical study assesses the change of Alberta climate using the monthly data of surface air maximum temperature, surface air minimum temperature, total precipitation, total rainfall, and total snowfall from 1884 to 1996 from 38 long-term climate stations. The weighted average of individual station values was used to obtain an Alberta average of climate variables for each month. The purpose of the study was to examine the trends of climate variables over the province and apply an averaging method that would provide a better representation of Alberta's climatic trends.
