This server provides Web Services which adhere to Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Service Implementation Specifications. Environment Canada works to preserve and enhance the quality of the natural environment; conserve Canada's renewable resources; conserve and protect Canada's water resources; carry out meteorology and provide weather forecasts; enforce rules relating to boundary waters; and, coordinate environmental policies and programs for the federal government.

This CLIMATE CHANGE service is a component of a hybrid WEB/GIS online mapping application developed by Environment Canada (EC) with funding support from the Climate Change Action Fund (CCAF) and GeoConnections. It gives access to analyses of both historical climate data, and projected climate change scenarios, developed from the Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM), using global grid scale projections from the Canadian Global Circulation Model 1 (CGCM1), running the Green House Gas plus Aerosol emissions experiment (GHG+A1). Downscaled scenarios are available for three meteorological parameters; maximum daily temperature (Tmax); daily minimum temperature (Tmin), and total daily precipitation (Pcpn). Contours are generated using data from 14 sites in Atlantic Canada for the historical period (1961-90), and for projections into the 2020's (2011-2040), the 2050's (2041-2070), and the 2080's (2071-2100).

This project combines water quality (ENVIRODAT) and water quantity (HYDAT) data to compute annual chemical loads in Pacific and Yukon Region. Chemical loads are estimated based on several statistical estimators. A module has been developed to guide which statistical estimators is used to predict annual chemical loads for a given location. Chemical loads are estimated where water quantity and quality stations are co-located. This project enhances the use of water quality and quantity data, and increases the abilities of the individuals to predict the loading estimates of chemicals. It provides direct access to integrated data and information at the station level. This loading estimates information can then be used to as the input to models such as nutrients and sediment transport to provide further water quality and/or water quantity information at the regional level. This project also provides OGC compliant Web Mapping Service layers for both water quality and quantity stations in Pacific and Yukon Region. Through these layers, users can easily get access to both annual loading estimates and real-time or archived hydrometric data. A number of web services are also made available for users to download station level metadata, water quality and quantity data.

The Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) is an integrated national network for the collection, management, assessment, and distribution of bioassessment data. CABIN aims to provide long-term monitoring and assessment of aquatic ecosystem health by utilizing the Reference Condition Approach (RCA) applied to benthic macro-invertebrates. The CABIN web portal provides access to sampling protocols, on-line data entry and management, and on-line analytical, reporting and visualization tools. Participation in CABIN is encouraged at all levels of expertise; groups interested in becoming involved can contact the program coordinator through the web page (cabin.cciw.ca).
