During Leg 1, the CTD (CTD RBR Maestro) was manually lowered in the water through an ice hole. During legs 2 to 4, the CTD (CTD RBR Concerto) was installed on a Seabird Scientific optical package frame. Poor quality profiles, that had been affected by ice-covered sensors, were removed. Atmospheric pressure observed at weather stations near the sampling locations (Aklavik, Inuvik, Shingle Point and Tuktoyaktuk) was used to tare the CTD pressure sensors. The salinity was re-measured on discrete water samples (Sal Lab) using Mettler Toledo Conductivity/Salinity/pH meter.
