Description
Summary:The CTD data was obtained during leg #0602 of the 2006 ArcticNet scientific cruise. The data were collected from August 22 to 31, 2006, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 9 casts, associated to 6 oceanographic stations, in the Labrador Sea research area. 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 transmissiometer), 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 Labrador Sea. : Summary: Not Applicable
