This dataset includes discrete sample and profile data collected during the Canadian Beaufort Sea Marine Ecosystem Assessment (CBS-MEA) F/V Frosti expedition (EXPOCODE 18DN20180803) in the Arctic Ocean, Beaufort Sea from 2018-08-03 to 2018-09-08. These data include water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity. Starting in 2017, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) conducted a survey of marine fishes and their habitats on the Canadian Beaufort Shelf and slope in August and early September each year. Sampling was conducted from the F/V Frosti at 144 stations along nine multi-year transects; and 32 non-transect stations. Standardized sampling was conducted at pre-determined depth stations using a variety of sampling equipment including benthic fishing trawls; plankton nets; sediment cores; and CTD and water sample profiles. The ocean acidification program was implemented in DFO’s Central and Arctic Region (Freshwater Institute) in 2017, funded by the Aquatic ...
