Environmental Canada (weather station) in Edmonton, Alberta.


Weather Organization


There are many weather stations within Canada, and 290 of them are climate stations (study long term climate patterns) that contain more than 30 years of continuous record. These stations applies their research with instrumentation (such as thermometers, barometers, and weather vanes etc.) and radiosondes (radio-equipped instrument packages carried aloft by balloon) to acquire full understanding of weather (meteorology). Environmental Canada is one of the radiosondes stations, and they oversee divisions that relate to weather and climate.
