Atlantic Canada Marine Plastic Research Project (2017-2020)

The purpose of the Atlantic Canada Microplastic Research Project (2017-2020) is to determine the quantity of microplastics in 3 near-shore communities of Atlantic Canada.  Data will be used to better inform the conversation and solutions around plastic pollution in the region.  The project is funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada and is in partnership with Clean Annapolis River Project (CARP), ACAP Humber Arm, and Dr. Max Liboiron at the Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research (CLEAR) out of Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN).  Dr.  Max Liboiron is our chief academic advisor on the 3-year project, assisting with project development, methods and protocol, and sampling design.  The project included sampling both surface water and beach sediment at all three study locations.  The surface water trawling equipment was built using CLEAR''s low-aquatic debris instrument (LADI) design.  Data reports are available for 2018 surface water and shoreline sediment results. Remaining 2018 sediment results and 2019 hot-spot data will be available soon.

MUN Glider Deployment: Pearldiver, Gulf of St. Lawrence, 2019-08-08

Over the past 15 years, Memorial University has been involved in various ocean glider activities, with deployments focused primarily on the Newfoundland Shelf and the Labrador Sea. For example, four deployments with glider data are in the Labrador Sea. Partnerships with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Ocean Gliders Canada have also resulted in deployments of Memorial's gliders in the Pacific. The data contain 14,663 mission kms, 620 deployment days and 25,108 individual glider profiles.

L1 NetCDF files for every deployment archived on Memorial University's Glider Data server are publicly available for scientific research. Deployments vary in duration and region. All files were processed with the SOCIB glider toolbox (Troupin et al., 2015), modified by Nicolai von Oppeln-Bronikowski, 2019 for MUN glider deployments.

This glider deployment occurred between 08-Aug-2019 and 15-Aug-2019 over the N. Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada.

XEOS HKB Buoy Wave Sensor

The Brizo is a GNSS-based, directional wave height sensor. Developed by Xeos Technologies, it is a breakthrough product on the market that provides significant wave height, maximum wave height, peak wave period, average wave direction, and average wave spread. It was installed on the HKB navigational buoy in the Halifax Harbour near Meagher's Beach.

When the Port Authority raised a need for capturing wave data at this location, Xeos Technologies was happy to provide and install its own wave height sensor for the SmartAtlantic project. It is an opportunity to aid in the environmental monitoring of harbor conditions.

Guysborough 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.

POLY4 Chlorophyll-a OC-CCI Data in the Northwest Atlantic, 1997-Present

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 since Sep 1997. The data is at a 4.64x4.64 km spatial resolution covering an area of the Northwest Atlantic from 39-82°N, 42-95°W. Regionally-tuned coefficients for POLY4 Chl-a (Clay et al., 2019, see resources) were obtained by matching level-3 gridded 1km-resolution satellite pixels to in situ HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) Chl-a samples within the region of interest. POLY4 Chl-a was then optimized by forcing the linear regression of POLY4 against HPLC to the 1:1 line to reduce the negative bias observed in higher concentrations in the default global Chl-a models. Daily Chl-a images were generated by applying the optimized POLY4 algorithm on level-3 binned remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) data from the OC-CCI multisensor product generated by the Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) as part of the European Space Agency (ESA) climate change initiative. The Chl-a data were then projected onto an Equidistant Cylindrical grid (4.64x4.64 km per pixel) 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).
