Abstract
The Coppermine River Watershed, which is in the continuous permafrost zone of the Canadian arctic region, is hardly accessible for most part of the year. There is therefore insufficient observed data for carrying out hydrological studies in the watershed. To generate synthetic data for the watershed a statistical technique was applied to extend one year of observed maximum temperature, minimum temperature, streamflow and precipitation backwards and forwards by at least ten years each way. The generated data was found to have similar statistical characteristics as the observed data. The generated data can be used as input to watershed runoff model to predict stream flow and other hydrologic changes in the permafrost zone due to climate change.
