ArcticNet/Geotraces 0903a - Beaufort Sea CTD Data

The CTD data was obtained during the 2009 Geotraces scientific cruise #0903 as part of the ArcticNet program.

The data were collected from August 30 to September 10, 2009, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 45 casts associated to 8 stations, located in the Beaufort Sea area.

The following parameters were measured: temperature, conductivity and pressure (with a Sea-Bird SBE-9plus), dissolved oxygen (Sea-Bird SBE-43), fluorescence (Seapoint chlorophyll fluorometer), CDOM (Haardt backscat fluorometer FL(RT)D), nitrate concentration (Satlantic MBARI-ISUS 5T), transmittance (Wetlabs C-Star transmissometer), currents (RDI LADCP), turbidity (UVP 5), 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.
