Description
A big, old and twisted white birch in December 1989, looking west on the Environment Canada property just south of the King City Radar site.
White birch is also known as he paper birch or canoe birch. Betula papyrifera is a short lived tree surviving sometimes only thirty year. Trees in colder climates can last a hndred years.
White birch prefer well drained and dry soils. Trees within a forest tend to be straight with a single trunk. It is a medium-sized deciduous tree typically reaching 66 ft tall with the largest white birches reaching to 130 feet with a trunk up to 30 inches in diameter like the one I painted. Trees in a more open landscape like this one tend to develop multiple trunks with branches close to the ground. The yellow leaves of autumn have already been stripped from this exposed tree on the Doppler Radar site.
I went for a walk after lunch and before I had to report back to a seminar. I was at the site to help with the training of staff. I invented some unique ways to look at Doppler Radar. Pattern recognition simplified the often complex Doppler signatures so that a meteorologist could deduce vertical profiles in wind, thermal advection and stability along with other important processes. Art can be a science and vice versa. Never stop learning...
