Strait of Georgia time series from March 18, 2015 to December 19, 2023. (A) Freshwater discharge into the Strait of Georgia (m3 s-1 × 1000) with total discharge, Fraser River watershed discharge, and the combined discharge from glacier-, snow-, and rain-dominated watersheds (Fig. 1A) shown as black, red, and blue, respectively. (B) Salinity through the water column at QU39 with the 30.5 isohaline highlighted. (C) Ωcal through the water column at QU39. The black line in (C) denotes Ωcal < 1, while the magenta line denotes pHT < 7.52. (D) Wind speed cubed (m3 s-3) and the cumulative north–south wind stress (N m-2) beginning each year on September 1 from the Environment and Climate Change Canada Sentry Shoal weather buoy in the northern Strait of Georgia (Fig. 1C). Red and green dots denote the start and end of the storm season, respectively.
