Abstract
The seasonal conditions that transpire on land have impacts on nearby coastal waters through discharge, temperatures and nutrient input from rivers and streams. Wildfire events can also impact ocean waters via changes in river sediment transport. As part of a holistic approach to describing the state of the Pacific Ocean, this section will describe the evolution of seasonal weather and snowpack conditions relevant to the coastal waters of B.C. The particular records that are described are monthly temperature and precipitation pseudo-observations from a global atmospheric reanalysis and monthly measurements of water equivalent snowpack from provincial and private weather observing networks.
