Maritimes Region Atlantic Zone Off-Shelf Monitoring Program (AZOMP) Rosette Vertical Profiles

The Atlantic Zone Off-Shelf Monitoring Program (AZOMP) collects and analyzes physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic observations from the continental slope and deep basins of the Northwest Atlantic, with the overarching goal of monitoring variability in ocean climate and plankton affecting ecosystems off Atlantic Canada and climate systems at both regional and global scales. 

Annual measurements in the Labrador Sea began in 1990 as a contribution to the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) and have evolved into a multidisciplinary regional monitoring effort and part of the Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP).

AZOMP's sampling scheme off Atlantic Canada and the Labrador Sea involves annual sampling of both the Atlantic Repeat 7-West (AR7W) line, a 880 km-line running across the Labrador Sea from Labrador to Greenland coast and extended Halifax Line, deep-water stations over the Scotian Slope and Rise located at the end of AZMP’s Halifax Line. Opportunistic sampling also may occur at stations in the Strait of Belle Ilse, station 27, Labrador Shelf, and OSNAP West line in support of ancillary research programs and initiatives. AZOMP sampling is conducted according to standard Go-Ship protocols  (https://www.go-ship.org/HydroMan.html) and includes: 1- the collection of CTD and Lowered-ADCP profiles and water samples for the determination of physical (e.g., T, S, currents), chemical (e.g., nutrients, Carbonate system, transient gases for water mass determination and/or ventilation and carbon sequestration studies), and biological (e.g., chl a, Primary production and optical properties) variables; 2-  Stratified multi net tows for zooplankton;  and 3- vertical ring net tows for plankton. In addition XBTs and Argo floats are commonly deployed and vessel-mounted ADCP is used to water masses structures at a smaller scale. The data collected are synthesized into annual reports on the physical, chemical and biological changes in Atlantic Canadian waters and the Labrador Sea. One primary focus is on changes in the intensity of winter overturning of surface and intermediate-depth waters resulting in deep water mass formation and is part of the thermohaline circulation that affects the global climate. Convection also transfers atmospheric gases from the surface to intermediate depths, reducing the rate of increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere but increasing the acidity of the ocean.

Offshore Halifax Testing. Slocum gliders are small, free-swimming, unmanned vehicles that use changes in buoyancy to move vertically and horizontally through the water column in a saw-tooth pattern. They are deployed for days to several months and gather detailed information about the physical, chemical and biological processes of the world's oceans. The Slocum glider was designed and built by Teledyne Webb Research Corporation, Falmouth, MA, USA.

Inverness 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.

Newfoundland and Labrador Region Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) Rosette Vertical Profiles

The Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) was implemented in 1998 with the aim of detecting and tracking climate change and variability in the northwest Atlantic, evaluating changes in the physical, chemical and biological ocean properties and predator-prey dynamics of marine resources, thereby enhancing Canada's ability to understand, describe, and forecast the state of the marine ecosystem. AZMP's sampling scheme in the Newfoundland and Labrador Region involves oceanographic sampling at one high-frequency (biweekly to monthly) fixed coastal station (Station 27) as well as triannual sampling along fixed cross-shelf sections (Beachy Island, Makkovik Bank, Seal Island, White Bay, Bonavista Bay, Flemish Cap, Southeast Grand Banks, Southeast St. Pierre Bank and Southwest St. Pierre Bank). AZMP sampling is conducted according to standard procedures (see https://cat.fsl-bsf.scitech.gc.ca/record=b3951030~S6) and includes the collection of CTD profiles and water samples for the determination of physical (e.g., T, S), chemical (e.g., nutrients, carbonates, oxygen, pH), and biological (e.g., chl a) variables and vertical ring net tows. The data collected are synthesized into two annual reports on the physical and chemical/biological changes in the Newfoundland and Labrador Region, contribute to multiple Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) and Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) processes, and are also used to evaluate changes across the Atlantic zone.
