Vancouver is Canada's third most rainy city, with over 161 rainy days per year. As measured at Vancouver Airport in Richmond, Vancouver receives 1,189 mm (46.8 in) of rain per year. [ 1 ] In North Vancouver, about 20 km (12 mi) away from the Vancouver airport, the amount of rain received doubles to 2,477 mm (97.5 in) per year as measured at the ...
Differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC) is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. [ 1] Both the sample and reference are maintained at nearly the same temperature throughout the experiment.
Meteorological instrumentation. Galileo thermometer. Meteorological instruments (or weather instruments ), including meteorological sensors ( weather sensors ), are the equipment used to find the state of the atmosphere at a given time. Each science has its own unique sets of laboratory equipment. Meteorology, however, is a science which does ...
Scanning thermal microscopy ( SThM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that maps the local temperature and thermal conductivity of an interface. The probe in a scanning thermal microscope is sensitive to local temperatures – providing a nano-scale thermometer. Thermal measurements at the nanometer scale are of both scientific and ...

Burrard Inlet (Halkomelem: səl̓ilw̓ət) is a shallow-sided fjord in the northwestern Lower Mainland, British Columbia, Canada. [1] [2] Formed during the last Ice Age, it separates the City of Vancouver and the rest of the lowland Burrard Peninsula to the south from the coastal slopes of the North Shore Mountains, which span West Vancouver and the City and District of North Vancouver to the ...
Most of Canada has a continental climate, which features a large annual range of temperatures, cold winters, and warm summers. Daily average temperatures are near −15 °C (5 °F ), but can drop below −50 °C (−58 °F) with severe wind chills. [ 1] In non-coastal regions, snow can cover the ground for almost six months of the year, while ...
TRIUMF is Canada 's national particle accelerator centre. It is considered Canada's premier physics laboratory, [ 1] and consistently regarded as one of the world's leading subatomic physics research centres. [ 2] Owned and operated by a consortium of universities, it is on the south campus of one of its founding members, the University of ...
