Climate data for regions of Nova Scotia. Each region has historical data for a 30 year baseline period (1961 – 90) and future projections out to the end of the century (2100).

Provincial winter loss data is collected for inclusion in the annual Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists Statement on Honey Bee Wintering Losses in Canada. Data is compiled from a sample of commercial beekeepers (each keeping ≥50 colonies) each spring and presented as an estimated average percentage of colony losses.

Current speed and direction time series data collected in a vertical profile at various locations throughout the coastal waters of Inverness County.

Current data from Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) deployed in the county. Data are part of the Centre for Marine Applied Research’s Coastal Monitoring Program. The figure shows the daily average values of sea_water_speed_m_s for the waterbody and station selected from the dropdown filters on the right.
The filtered dataset can be exported using the “Export” button on the right.

Oceanographic data from stationary moorings deployed as part of the Centre for Marine Applied Research's (CMAR) Coastal Monitoring Program.

Temperature data from the Centre for Marine Applied Research's (CMAR) Coastal Monitoring Program. The original dataset includes data measured on intervals of 1 minute to 1 hour. The figure shows the daily average values for the waterbody, station, depth, time period, and quality control flags selected from the dropdown filters. The filtered dataset can be exported using the “Export” button on the right.

Wave time series data collected at various locations throughout the waters of Inverness County by the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture’s Aquaculture Division.

A sinkhole is a natural depression or hole in the Earth's surface which may have various causes. Most natural sinkholes are caused by the chemical dissolution of water-soluble carbonate rocks or gypsum. Sinkholes may vary in size from 1 to 600 m both in diameter and depth. Sinkholes may be formed gradually or by sudden collapse and are found worldwide in ‘karst areas.’
Karst areas are not unique to Nova Scotia; in fact, they occur in over a quarter of the earth’s surface. As a result, there are well-established methods for reducing karst risks. These include actions that can be taken both at the planning and construction stage of a project, as well as on-going actions that reduce the risk of future sinkhole formation.
This dataset was developed to show areas of Nova Scotia where there is a relatively high-medium-low risk of encountering karst and naturally occurring sinkholes caused by soluble bedrock.

Lifeguards in the provincial park beach program count beachgoers each day during the season.
