Description
Summary:The CTD data was obtained during the 2009 ArcticNet scientific cruise #0902a with the participation of Imperial Oil Ltd. (IOL). The data were collected from July 18 to 27, 2009, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 24 casts associated to 22 stations, located in the Ajurak Block prospection site. The following parameters were measured: temperature, conductivity and pressure (with a Sea-Bird SBE-9plus), dissolved oxygen (Sea-Bird SBE-43), pH (Sea-Bird SBE-18-I), fluorescence (Seapoint chlorophyll fluorometer), nitrate concentration (Satlantic MBARI-ISUS 5T), transmittance (Wetlabs C-Star transmissometer), currents (RDI LADCP), turbidity (UVP 5), light intensity (PAR; Biospherical Instruments QCP2300) and surface light intensity (sPAR; Biospherical Instruments QCP2200). Quality control procedures were applied to the data. Data are available on the Polar Data Catalogue and at the Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. : Purpose: The physical data are one of the tools used to characterize the water masses and, to some extent, the water circulation in the Beaufort Sea. : Summary: Not Applicable
