Wave Energy Research Centre Weather Archive

The Wave Energy Research Centre (WERC) was established in 2011 by College of the North Atlantic (CNA) to conduct research on the use of ocean wave energy to supply sea water to land based aquaculture.  The site in Lord's Cove, NL is fully instrumented for wave and weather data collection and contains a pilot land -based multi-trophic aquaculture farm. The meteorological station at Lord’s Cove is located at 46°52'43.20"N, 55°40'10.32"W near the public wharf in the town of Lord’s Cove NL Canada. The 10 m tower was erected 2 m from one of our buildings approximately 7 m above sea level and 40 m from the high tide line (Fig. 1). Due to local terrain, it was impossible to find a site with ideal fetch for wind measurements. Although there is excellent fetch for the site in the southern half of the compass (at least 200 m over water), there are nearby (approximately 60 m away) terrain features and structures to the north. For this reason, wind measured from the northern quadrants may be site specific and should be interpreted with caution. The station instrumentation includes an RM Young marine anemometer (model # 05106C-10) mounted at 10 m, a Kipp & Zonen silicon pyranometer (model “SP Lite2”) mounted on a horizontal arm 1 m south from the tower centre at a height of 4 m, a "Hydroclip" RH/T sensor (Model HC2-S3-L)  mounted on the tower  in a 10-plate radiation shield (Campbell Scientific 41003-X)  also at a height of 3 m,  a Texas Electronics TE525M tipping bucket rain and a RM Young 52202-L heated tipping bucket rain gauge, both mounted at 3.5 m on separate supports 3 m southwest of the tower. Data is collected by a Campbell Scientific CR10X logger powered from a solar-charged battery, isolating the system from AC noise. Data is transmitted every 10 minutes to a computer via VHF radio. The data logger is programmed to take measurements every three seconds and analyze these data over 2-minute (for sustained wind), 10-minute and 24–hour (midnight to midnight) periods.  Historical data  Fours datasets are available: 1.	Daily Lord’s Cove Weather Data 2.	Lord’s Cove Weather:  10 Minute Intervals:  Retrieves 10-minute weather data between the dates specified. 3.	Sustained Winds:  Returns sustained (i.e. minimum in 2 minutes) wind speed (Km/hr) every 2 minutes in period.  4.

Yarmouth County Wave Data

The Centre for Marine Applied Research (CMAR) provides high resolution data on ocean variables from around the coast of Nova Scotia through their Coastal Monitoring Program. The program was initiated by the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture (NSDFA) in 2015. In 2019, CMAR assumed responsibility for the program and expanded its scope and mandate. Through the Wave Branch of the program, CMAR processes and publishes Wave data collected by NSDFA. The data are measured by upward facing Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) that are mounted on the sea floor for 1 - 3 months. An ADCP uses sound to measure wave variables including height, period, and direction. NSDFA uses several ADCP instrument models, including the Sentinel V20, Sentinel V50, Sentinel V100, and Workhorse Sentinel 600kHz. The data is processed using Velocity and WavesMon4 Software, and then compiled and formatted for publication with CMAR’s waves R package. An automated “Gross Range” test was applied to the data to identify statistical outliers. Each data point was assigned a flag value of “Pass”, “Suspect/Of Interest”, or “Fail”. Observations flagged as “Pass” passed the test (i.e., were not considered outliers) and can be included in analyses. Observations flagged as “Fail” were considered outliers and should be excluded from most analyses. Observations flagged as “Suspect/Of Interest” were either poor quality or highlight an unusual event, and should be carefully reviewed before being included in analyses. Flags should be used as a guide only, and data users are responsible for evaluating the quality of the data prior to use in any analysis.  The ''Nova Scotia Current and Wave Data: Deployment Information'' dataset on this Portal shows all locations with available Wave data collected through CMAR’s Coastal Monitoring Program (https://data.novascotia.ca/Fishing-and-Aquaculture/Nova-Scotia-Current-and-Wave-Data-Deployment-Infor/uban-q9i2/about_data). Summary reports for each county are available on the CMAR website (https://cmar.ca/coastal-monitoring-program/). Data collection and retrieval are ongoing. The datasets and reports may be revised pending ongoing data collection and analyses.  If you have accessed any Coastal Monitoring Program data, CMAR would appreciate your anonymous feedback: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe3TD6umrsVVKnQL13VVMJIpckCi2ctONJsgN7_g-4c-tKTuw/viewform.

Fortune Bay: Dog Island - DOGIS

DOGIS (47.61463 N, 55.35221 W): is a 10 m mast weather station equipped with a Gill ultrasonic wind sensor (WindSonic, option 4). The data are collected via a SUTRON Satlink2-V2 logger connected to an Omni-directional GOES antenna; transmitting near real-time data every hour. 1 min average wind speed and direction as well as gust (maximum) are calculated from the sensor 1 Hz internal sampling rate and recorded by the logger every 10 min. The mast is installed on a barren island, about 10 m height from the mean sea level, located in the center of Belle Bay, the main head of Fortune Bay. Wind observations are thus made at about 20 m from mean sea level. This weather station was installed as part of a bay-scale monitoring program that occurred from May 2015 to May 2017 and that aimed at understanding the dominant ocean dynamics of Fortune Bay. It has been maintained ever since and visited on a yearly basis (approximately). Details on the original program can be found at https://essd.copernicus.org/articles/12/1877/2020/essd-12-1877-2020.html

Adult fish in the Canadian Arctic: ArcticNet 2014-2018

Adult fish were sampled in the Beaufort Sea, Baffin Bay, Hudson Bay and in the Canadian Archipelago through ArcticNet surveys from 2014 to 2018 onboard the NGCC Amundsen. 
Pelagic fish were caught with an Isaacs-Kidd Midwater Trawl (IKMT, 9-m2 rectangular mouth aperture with mesh sizes of 11 mm in the first section and 5 mm in the last section). It was deployed from the surface to depths targeting possible aggregation of fish as recorded by the acoustic echosounder from the ship. Demersal and benthic fish were sampled with a bottom beam trawl (3-m2 rectangular aperture with a headline and a footrope of 4.27 m and a cod-end mesh of 9.5 mm) deployed on the seafloor. The pelagic and bottom trawls were towed at 2–3 knots for 10 to 20 min. All fish collected by the trawls were measured and identified at least to the family level before freezing at -20°C.

Assessing Legacy and Emerging Contaminants in Canadian Arctic Air and Water Bodies as an Entry Point into the Arctic Food Chain: 2020-2021

We collected water samples in the summer of 2020 from on board the CCGS Wilfrid Laurier in the Beauford Sea. Different types of water samples were collected: grab samples at the surface for flame retardants were collected in glass bottles and shipped back to the lab for processing. Grab samples for per-fluorinated compounds were also collected at the surface and at two-three depths in plastic bottles and shipped back to the lab for processing. We were able to retrieve passive sampling cages that were deployed in the Beauford Sea last year and we were also able to deploy more cages. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic our sampling was limited and sampling on the CCGS Amundsen for our project was canceled.
