ArcticNet 0502b - Hudson Bay CTD data

The CTD data was obtained during the 2005 ArcticNet scientific cruise #0502. The data were collected from September 23 to October 16, 2006, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 115 casts, associated to 79 oceanographic stations, in the Hudson Bay.

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), 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.
