CASES 0304-Beaufort Sea CTD data

The CTD data was obtained during LEG 02 of the 2003 CASES scientific cruise #0304. This Leg was carried out from October 15th 2003 to November 25th 2003 aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 147 CTD casts in Leg 2. All of these casts, associated to 109 oceanographic stations, are located in the Beauf...

Description
Summary:The CTD data was obtained during LEG 02 of the 2003 CASES scientific cruise #0304. This Leg was carried out from October 15th 2003 to November 25th 2003 aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 147 CTD casts in Leg 2. All of these casts, associated to 109 oceanographic stations, are located in the Beaufort Sea research area. The following parameters were measured: temperature, conductivity and pressure (with a Sea-Bird 911 probe), oxygen (Sea-Bird 43), pH (Seabird 18), fluorescence (Seapoint fluorometer), nitrates (Satlantic MBARI ISUS), transmittance (Wetlabs C-Star transmissometer), PAR/Irradiance and SPAR/Irradiance (Biospherical Instruments QC2300). Data were quality controlled. Data are available on the Polar Data Catalogue and at the Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) of Fisheries and Ocean Canada. : Purpose: The physical data are one of the tools used to characterize the water masses and in some extend the water circulation in Beaufort Sea. : Summary: Not Applicable
