ArcticNet/BP 1002b - Beaufort Sea CTD Data

The CTD data was obtained during the 2010 ArcticNet scientific cruise #1002b in collaboration with the industrial partner BP. The data were collected from September 2 to 23, 2010, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 10 casts associated to 9 stations, located in the Beaufort Sea. 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 (Wetlabs FL(RT)D), 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.
