Abstract

Various techniques are used to detect the possible distortion of the tide by the presence of an ice cover at some gauging sites in the Canadian Arctic. Some stations are apparently unaffected, while those around the periphery of Amundsen Gulf and Hudson Bay experience larger tides during the annual period of open water and the time of arrival of the tide is altered.
