This dataset contains an opportunistic dataset of in situ geophysical and electromagnetic observations of sea ice off the northeast coast of Newfoundland. It includes temperature and salinity profiles from ice cores at 3 different study sites, 1 photomosaic from a DJI Phantom drone (not available in PDC), and 1 set of Radiometer and C-Band Scatterometer scans from one of our study sties. Within Barber et al., (in review) the in situ data was used to verify that we were in fact sampling multiyear sea ice and describe the anomalous sea ice cover that presented hazardous conditions off the northeast coast of Newfoundland in spring 2017. : Purpose: The dataset was collected opportunistically from the Coast Guard ice breaker Amundsen in June 2017 when the ship was diverted from its scientific cruise in Hudson Bay to the northeast coast of Newfoundland. The dataset was opportunistically collected in between coast guard operations for the purpose of describing the anomalous ice cover that was located in the area during spring 2017. : Summary: Not Applicable
