Description
Summary:A mooring deployed in Hudson Strait between Big Island and Wales Island from September 2005 to August 2006 was equipped with an upward looking sonar (ULS) to measure sea ice draft. Hudson Strait is the main pathway of heat, mass, and freshwater exchange between Hudson Bay and the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans. Hudson Strait inflow affects the physical and biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems of Hudson Bay. The ULS data were processed according to their manufacturer specifications.
