Summary: | Three oceanographic sections were completed during two surveys conducted in Division 0A, Baffin Bay, during September and October, 2004. They were at Cape Liverpool/Lancaster Sound, Cape Jameson and Cape Christian. This is the first time these particular sections have been surveyed. Temperature, salinity and fluorescence data were collected at 4-5 stations along each transect. In addition bottom temperature was collected at each of 101 fishing stations distributed between 400 m and 1 500 m bottom depth. Cold arctic polar water (-1.0 to-2.0oC) was clearly apparent between approx. 50 m to 300 m along the Baffin coast. A majority of bottom stations had temperatures less than 1.0oC. |
