Biogeochemical Data from the Algae-WISE Project (June and July 2022) in the Coastal Waters of Anticosti Island, Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Biogeochemical data were collected from June 30, 2022 to July 07, 2022 on board the Coriolis II research vessel in the coastal waters of Anticosti Island. This dataset includes biogeochemical parameters analyzed in the laboratory from water samples, including salinity, chlorophyll a, suspended particulate matter, dissolved organic carbon, nutrients, cellular abundance, pigment concentrations, particulate absorption, and absorption of colored dissolved organic matter. The stations are organized into six transects perpendicular to the coast and one transect parallel to the coast. For each station visited, water samples were collected at several depths along a vertical transect, each time including the surface and the corresponding depth of chlorophyll a maximum.

It is also possible to consult other data sets related to this project:

• Data set of the optical properties of water, measured on board of the Coriolis II ship using a Compact-Optical Profiling System (C-OPS) and a Hyperspectral Surface Acquisition System (HyperSAS) (in preparation)
• Optical data measured aboard a watercraft in the waters closer to Anticosti Island are also available: Optical data

The Algae-WISE project is funded mainly by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) through the Flight and Field Investigations in Space Technology and Science program (VITES 2019), as well as by Réseau Québec maritime (RQM) for ship-time.
