After a career spanning forty-one years, Mr. Donald C. Archibald in 197 1 retired from the Canadian Meteorological Service. The above picture shows the collage of the crests of the Joint Canadian-U.S. Arctic Weather Stations (JAWS) with which he was presented.
Mr. Archibald, a Fellow of the Arctic Institute of North America, has been interested in the Canadian Arctic for many years and this resulted in a major achievement in 1946 with the establishment of JAWS in the High Arctic. For twenty-five years these stations have provided essential weather information on a daily basis to forecasters throughout the world. Under Mr. Archibald's direction the stations have become advance bases for scientific programs, resource explora- tion and other activities which are at present developing the Arctic at an accelerated rate.
During 1970, and at the initiative of the United States, it was agreed that U.S. participation in the program would be gradually phased out. The phaseout at Alert took place in October 1970, at Mould Bay and Isachsen in October 1971, and will take place at Eureka and Resolute in October 1972. However, Canadian officials have assured their U.S. colleagues that the stations will continue to be available to U.S. scientists for research purposes and, of course, that scientific data routinely gathered at them will continue to be made available to the world.
