Ice freeze-up and breakup observations in the Upper Grand River : 1980-81 and 1981-82 observations / by J. Wong and S. Beltaos. : En13-5/84-02E-PDF

"The first two years‘ ice observations on the Upper Grand River are described and interpreted. Flooding was experienced during both the 1980-81 and 1981-82 breakup seasons and was caused by major ice jams..Breakup initiation data for the Marsville and Upper Belwood gauge sites are consistent with earlier findings on other rivers. This was not the case for west Montrose. A possible cause of this discrepancy is the local formation and behaviour of slush jams during freeze up. Potential peak breakup stages, as predicted by the theory of equilibrium floating jams. were not exceeded by any of the four major jams that were documented. This is in agreement with expectation since three of these jams did not attain equilibrium and the fourth appeared to be associated with overestimated flow discharge"--Abstract, p. i.
