Inverness County Water Quality Data

The Centre for Marine Applied Research (CMAR) provides high resolution ocean data from around the coast of Nova Scotia through their Coastal Monitoring Program. Through the Water Quality Branch of the program, CMAR collects temperature, dissolved oxygen, and salinity data using sensors deployed on stationary moorings. A typical mooring consists of a line anchored to the sea floor and suspended by a sub-surface buoy, with sensors attached at various depths. Alternatively, sensors may be attached to structures including buoys, docks, or aquaculture equipment. Sensors are deployed for several months, and data are measured every 1 minute to 1 hour. Station locations, summary reports, and data collection methods are available on the CMAR website (https://cmar.ca/coastal-monitoring-program/). Datasets and reports may be revised pending ongoing data collection and analyses. Automated Quality Control tests were applied to the data to identify outlying and unexpected observations. The results of these tests are summarized in the “qc_flag” columns of the dataset. Observations flagged as “Pass” passed all tests, while observations flagged as “Fail” failed at least one test and should be excluded from most analyses. “Suspect/Of Interest” flags highlight unusual events or poor quality data, and “Not Evaluated” flags indicate at least one test was not applied to the observation. Flags should be used as a guide only, and users are responsible for evaluating the data quality prior to use. For technical details on the Quality Control tests, visit the CMAR Data Governance website (https://dempsey-cmar.github.io/cmp-data-governance/pages/cmp_about.html). Other data quality considerations:  -	Through calibration-validation procedures, CMAR has discovered that the VR2AR temperature sensors typically record 0.5 – 1 °C lower than other temperature sensors. This is not corrected for or flagged in the datasets but may be in the future. -	Sensor drift is not flagged in the datasets. -	The sensor_depth_at_low_tide_m is an estimate and should be compared to sensor_depth_measured_m when possible. Note the mooring can get “knocked down” by currents or sink from biofouling. Large discrepancies between the estimated depth and the minimum recorded depth are flagged in the column depth_crosscheck_flag. The Coastal Monitoring Program Water Quality data is organized by county. These datasets are very large, typically exceeding the number of rows that can be viewed in Excel. CMAR recommends filtering the data to the waterbody, station, depth, quality control flag, and/or time period of interest before exporting. Take care when exporting data filtered on quality control columns, because the whole row will be filtered (i.e., all other variables measured at that timestamp will also be excluded).

Seafloor Mapping for Onshore/Offshore Bedrock Correlation in Offshore Basins,  Western Newfoundland

This project will demonstrate the benefits of a sedimentary basin-to-seafloor integration of geophysical, geological and bathymetric data to map the offshore extent of Carboniferous bedrock, offshore western Newfoundland.  In particular, the research will prove the significant advantages of combining conventional industry (seismic and well) and potential field (aeromagnetic/gravity) data with high-resolution seismic and multibeam bathymetric data to map  offshore bedrock contacts and unconformities, structures (faults, fold axes) and features (gas vents) with unrivaled precision compared to stand-alone interpretations.

Station 27 Oceanographic Monitoring Station

Station 27 (47° 32.8' N, 52° 35.2' W) was established in 1946 as the first hydrographic monitoring station in the standard St. John's to Flemish Cap transect and is the most frequently sampled site in Newfoundland and Labrador waters. Located approximately 7 km off St. John's harbour in a water depth of 176m this station was intentionally located in the Avalon Channel to monitor the water properties of the inshore branch of the Labrador current which are representative of conditions across a broad area of the Newfoundland Shelf. Data was first collected at Station 27 in 1946 and the station was sampled regularly ever since, making it one of the longest hydrographic monitoring stations in the world. In recent years, Station 27 has been sampled about 2 - 4 times per month on average, primarily by oceanographic and fisheries research vessels, as part of the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP).

Due to the length of the hydrographic time series at Station 27 sampling methods vary, and include instrumentation such as water-sampling bottles equipped with reversing thermometers, mechanical and electronic bathythermographs, and more recently conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) recorders have been used extensively. Therefore the accuracy of the data varies depending on which data collection method was used.

In recent years, data collection at Station 27 has expanded to include a year-round high-resolution temperature-salinity mooring, an acoustic zooplankton fish profiler (AZFP) mooring which is deployed for 9 months each year from November - July, and a Viking buoy (AZMP-STA27) equipped with meteorological and surface oceanographic sensor suite, as well as a profiling CTD winch, which is deployed in late-spring through mid-fall.

Northern Shrimp Research Foundation (NSRF) CTD Profiles

The Northern Shrimp Research Foundation (NSRF) was established in 2002 to address gaps in scientific data and research in the North in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The NSRF conducts shrimp research surveys in the Eastern Assessment zone (EAZ) and Western Assessment zone (WAZ). Using a DFO designed shock-absorbing CTD sled containing a Seabird model SBE-19plus CTD the NSRF shrimp surveys collect physical oceanographic data (e.g., T, S) at each fishing set since 2005. The package attached to the trawl head-ropes records time, water pressure, temperature, and conductivity for the duration of the fishing set.

In addition, the NSRF survey collects CTD data and water samples from vertical rosette profiles since 2022 in collaboration with the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP). This sampling is conducted according to standard procedures developed by AZMP and includes the collection of CTD profiles and water samples for the determination of physical (e.g., T, S), chemical (e.g., nutrients), and biological (chl a) variables and vertical ring net tows.

This record includes data that is collected from surveys jointly conducted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the Northern Shrimp Research Foundation (NSRF) from 2005 to present.

Maritimes Region Historical RAPID Climate Change Program Moored Time Series Data

Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) was originally a £20 million, six-year (2001-2007) program of the Natural Environment Research Council. This monitoring effort was continued in the NERC-funded follow-on program RAPID-WATCH 2008-2014.  The program aimed to improve the ability to quantify the probability and magnitude of future rapid change in climate, with a main (but not exclusive) focus on the role of the Atlantic Ocean's Thermohaline Circulation. The  program used a combination of observations (present day and palaeo) and modelling (atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial, cryospheric). Observations such as moorings were used for testing simulations of Thermohaline Circulation variability and climate change including the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, long-term transports and mixing processes and atmospheric forcing of ocean convection, and large-scale ocean transports. 

The specific scientific objectives of the RAPID program were agreed by the Rapid Climate Change Steering Committee and are detailed in the RAPID Science Plan (https://rapid.ac.uk/rapid/Scienceplan.php).

In the Maritimes the Rapid moorings were mostly on the Scotian shelf and slope off of Halifax from 2004 to 2010.

POLY4 Chlorophyll-a MODIS-Aqua Data in the Northwest Atlantic, 2002-2023

Chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) is used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass to track blooms and monitor the state of the ecosystem. This dataset contains daily satellite Chl-a from July 2002 to Dec 2023. The data is at a 4.64-km^2 spatial resolution covering an area of the Northwest Atlantic from 39-82°N, 42-95°W. Chl-a was generated by applying the POLY4 algorithm (Clay et al., 2019, see resources) on level-3 binned remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) data retrieved by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer sensor (MODIS) onboard the Aqua satellite, freely downloaded courtesy of NASA's Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG, https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/). Regionally-tuned coefficients for POLY4 were generated by matching level-2 MODIS-Aqua pixels (i.e. individual satellite passes) to in situ HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) Chl-a samples within the region of interest according to the procedure described in Clay et al. POLY4 Chl-a was then optimized by simultaneously forcing it to the 1:1 line against in situ Chl-a to reduce the negative bias observed in higher concentrations. The Chl-a data were then projected onto an Equidistant Cylindrical grid (4.64-km^2) using a nearest neighbour method.  This model and the Northwest Atlantic coefficients are available in the R package oceancolouR (https://github.com/BIO-RSG/oceancolouR).
