ArcticNet 0603b - Northwest Passage CTD data

The CTD data was obtained during leg #0603 of the 2006 ArcticNet scientific cruise. The data were collected from September 29 to 30 and from October 19 to 25, 2006, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 31 casts, associated to 22 oceanographic stations, in the Northwest Passage 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.
