Moving Vessel Profiling (MVP) data recorded in the Canadian, Greenlandic and USA Arctic Seas onboard CCGS Amundsen under limited distribution

The Moving Vessel Profiler (c) (MVP) is equipped with several sensors to record data on temperature, salinity, sound velocity, fluorescence, dissolved oxygen, and transmittance in the water column. The MVP vertical profiles constitute ancillary data for all other data recorded during the CCGS Amundsen scientific expeditions by providing information on the prevailing physical oceanic conditions in which biological, chemical and physical samplings were conducted. They also provide long-term records of the basic parameters central to the study of physical oceanographic processes, more specifically water column structure, water masses characteristics and oceanic circulation, in the Canadian Arctic Ocean.
