Profiles of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and fluorecence from Hudson Strait from August 26, 2008

A hydrographic section across Hudson Strait was occupied on August 26, 2008 by Research Vessel (R/V) Knorr. Seven profiles of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and fluorescence were collected between Big Island and Wales Island. The profiles were collected with a Seabird 9 Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD). The profiles were manually examined and are provided as 1-meter (m) bin averages. The purpose of the cruise was to recover four moorings deployed in the Strait to capture a year-long time series of the inflow and outflow. Hudson Strait is the main pathway of heat, mass, and freshwater exchange between Hudson Bay and the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans. Hudson Strait inflow affects the physical and biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems of Hudson Bay.
