The effect of extreme weather conditions on commercial fishing activities and vessel incidents in Atlantic Canada

Extreme weather factors, a key aspect of the commercial fishing operating environment, can present danger to fish harvesters and fishing vessels. The extreme environmental conditions in Atlantic Canada, most often associated with the passage of extratropical cyclones and icy waters, can be characterized using wind speed, precipitation, air and sea surface temperature, Laplacian of pressure, and ice presence over the study area.
