Description
Summary:The CTD data was obtained during the 2010 ArcticNet scientific cruise #1001a. The data were collected from July 7 to 31, 2010, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 66 casts associated to 40 stations, located in the Hudson Bay and Hudson Strait research areas. The following parameters were measured: temperature, conductivity and pressure (with a Sea-Bird SBE-9plus), dissolved oxygen (Sea-Bird SBE-43), fluorescence (Seapoint chlorophyll fluorometer), CDOM (Wetlabs FL(RT)D), nitrate concentration (Satlantic MBARI-ISUS 5T), transmittance (Wetlabs C-Star transmissometer), 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 Huson Bay and Hudson Strait. : Summary: Not Applicable
