Oceanographic Campaigns in the Gaspé Current (September 1991, May 1992, August 1992 and June 1993)

CTD and ADCP data were acquired between 1991 and 1993 in the portion of the Gaspé Current between Les Méchins and Gros-Morne by researcher Pierre Larouche. These measurements are part of a study on the detection of coastal currents by remote sensing carried out by Larouche in 1996. More recently, this unique set of data allowed the master's student in oceanography, Théau Leclercq, to complete his research project concerning observations of upwellings and downwellings on the edge of the Gaspé Current, of which Pierre Larouche is the co-director. The in-situ data come from 4 expeditions carried out between 1991 and 1993. These expeditions enabled the acquisition of 12 transects of ADCP (Teledyne Workhorse Sentinel) data on which CTD stations are spread. Temperature, salinity, and pressure (T, S, P) data were acquired with a Guildline 8715 CTD. CTD profiles data from all missions underwent quality control, filtered with an 11-point median filter, and then averaged per meter. Some of these data are already archived at the Maurice Lamontagne Institute (CTD casts from the May 1992, August 1992 and June 1993 missions).
