Simulation results of a Canada-wide ocean biogeochemical model including the North Atlantic, North Pacific and Arctic Oceans

Data Description:

Monthly mean simulation results from Canada's three Oceans model (sensitivity experiments--2017). Experiment codes can be matched to specific parameter sets following Table 1 in Christian et al 2026 from Canadian Technical Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 3721.

Abstract from the report:

A numerical ocean model with biogeochemistry has been developed for a domain that spans Canada's three oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic. The domain extends to 26°N in the Atlantic and 44°N in the Pacific, and spans the full width of each basin as well as the whole of the Arctic Ocean. The resolution is moderate to high (≈0.25°, 75 levels). A series of simulations was conducted to assess the best choices for biogeochemical model parameters across the diverse regions, using a variety of validation data sets including satellite ocean colour (surface chlorophyll and particulate organic carbon, integrated primary production), surface underway pCO2, and depth profiles of oxygen and nitrate concentration from ships and Argo floats. An extensive set of parameter sensitivity experiments was conducted which are documented in detail here, with a focus on zooplankton grazing and phytoplankton and zooplankton mortality (linear and quadratic) parameters, and particle sedimentation rates. Sensitivity to many of the parameter adjustments examined is low, but the experiments conducted span the range from weak seasonal biological drawdown of surface inorganic carbon and nutrients, to excessively large drawdown and thermocline oxygen demand. Further, the general nonlinearity of the model response to parameter adjustments is shown by similar parameter sets having very different effects on different data metrics. In addition, the model solution's general insensitivity to some phytoplankton processes (exudation, chlorophyll photooxidation) that are neglected in the 'base case' model simulation is demonstrated. An optimal set of parameters for this domain is proposed, but it is possible that there are unexplored regions of the parameter space that could improve performance, especially if additional observational constraints are applied.

Maritime region grain size data

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Maritime Science Branch has collected grain size data from sediment and water column samples using bottle samples, sediment cores, and sediment grabs as part of numerous research projects not only in the Atlantic provinces, but also worldwide. The data collected by DFO focuses on the fine grained (<1mm) particles as these are both a source of food and means of contaminant transport. Grain size data are used to study the fate and distribution of complimentary chemistries like heavy metals, pesticides, hydrocarbons, aquaculture waste as well as a variety of physical processes such as the resuspension and transport of sediment.

Using shoreline characteristics, relative exposure, depth, and freshwater inputs as surrogate measures to identify areas potentially suitable for eelgrass (Zostera marina) in Newfoundland

Seagrasses support multiple key ecosystem functions (e.g., sediment stabilization, carbon storage, nursery habitat) in nearshore environments across all three Canadian coastlines. Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a seagrass species that has been designated as an Ecologically Significant Species (ESS) and is the most widely distributed and abundant seagrass in Canada. Given the considerable conservation and management interest in eelgrass habitats, large-scale data aggregation efforts have been initiated to generate comprehensive distribution maps of eelgrass coverage in Canadian coastal waters. However, extensive portions of the Newfoundland coastline have not yet been surveyed for the presence of eelgrass. We combine spatial data layers describing shoreline characteristics, relative exposure index (REI), depth, and freshwater inputs to delineate areas potentially suitable for eelgrass growth in Newfoundland. We determined that many nearshore environments could potentially support eelgrass habitats but confirming eelgrass presence will require further validation and ground-truthing. Incorporating distribution models that use environmental covariates to estimate probabilities of occurrence in nearshore areas could help to strengthen these predictions. Mapping eelgrass distributions provides baseline data essential to eelgrass monitoring and implementation of coastal marine conservation, informing emergency response, and is particularly important considering the consequences associated with the potential loss of ecosystem functions in the event of eelgrass decline.

Benthic Species Presence/Absence in the Lower Bay of Fundy Derived From High Resolution Video and Still Imagery

Funded through DFO's Strategic Program for Ecosystem-based Research and Advice (SPERA), this benthic survey covers several seabed areas adjacent to Deer Island and Campobello Island, the Wolves Islands, and Grand Manan (NB) over a two-year study period (2016-2017). One hundred and fifty drift camera transects were completed within the ~91 sq-km study region collecting continuous high-definition video with periodic 4K resolution video (provided by a downward facing Blackmagic Production Camera 4K equipped with video lights). A Nikon D800 36.1 megapixel digital still imagery camera (equipped with a studio strobe light) captured seafloor images at ~30s intervals over a maximum 25-minute drift survey period.  The camera was triggered by lowering the camera frame within 1 m of the seabed, releasing tension on a trigger weight suspended below the frame. Camera location was tracked using an ultra-short baseline acoustic positioning system (Tracklink 1500HA transceiver with 1505B transponder on the camera frame). Species presence/absence, abundance, and bottom type was recorded manually using PhotoQuad v1.4 software. An average field of view of 0.7 x 0.5 m was determined from a subset of digital still images within which the 10 cm diameter trigger weight was fully in view. Thirty-two key and common taxa were described using explicit taxonomic identifiers, while other species were recorded within broader general categories (e.g. unidentified Cnidaria). Identification was made to the lowest possible taxonomic level. Primary bottom-type was defined as the grain size with the most percent coverage for each image/video interval. Grain size limits were determined using the Wentworth scale.

Sub Lea Park Formation Unconformity Structure Map

These structure, isopach and zero edge files are part of a series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems (SPFPS) project.

The series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems (SPFPS) project have been produced using 2 km equi-spaced modified grids generated from Golden Software’s Surfer 9 kriging algorithm. The dataset used to produce each of the maps in this series was created using data from several projects completed by the Ministry (Christopher, 2003; Saskatchewan Industry and Resources et al., 2004; Kreis et al., 2004; Marsh and Heinemann, 2006; Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources et al., 2007; Heinemann and Marsh, 2009); these data were validated and edited as required to facilitate correlations between the various regional projects. In addition, to minimize edge effects during contouring, the senior author also generated stratigraphic data from wells in adjacent jurisdictions.

Overland Flood Alerts

Current weather induced overland flood alerts

The Hydrologic Forecast Centre (HFC) issues several categories of flood alert throughout the year including riverine flooding due to snowmelt and rainfall, wind and wave induced shoreline flooding and ice pileup, and rainfall induced overland flooding. This layer demonstrates the location and/or extend of current alerts due to rainfall induced overland flooding. The types are defined below:Overland Flood Warning: A severe weather warning that is issued to alert the public that overland flooding is imminent or occurring in the warned area. Overland flooding is a quick onset of flood conditions, usually occurring after heavy rain that may not be linked to a specific waterway or lake. Rainfall intensity and duration, topography, soil conditions and ground cover are factors impacting overland flooding. Overland flooding can also occur because of a sudden release of water held by an ice jam.Overland Flood Watch: A severe weather watch that is issued when conditions are favourable for overland flooding. Normally issued when significant rainfall is expected in locations with saturated soil.
