Real-time CTD data from the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) VIKING buoy anchorages

Keywords: production, ckan
Temporal coverage: 2020-04-04T00:00:00

CTD  'near real' time in-situ and 1 meter binned data. No quality control has been performed on this data.
Data are available in two versions :

- in situ : data at levels as recorded by the CTD ;
- binned :  data average in 1 metre bins .

Data are from the following 7 Viking buoys: PMZA-RIKI, PMZA-VAS, AZMP-ESG, AZMP-STA27, IML-7, IML-BA and NORTH-AJAX

Fisheries and Oceans Canada monitors the marine environment using automated oceanographic buoys as one of its tools, designed and developed by a scientific team from the Maurice Lamontagne Institute, in partnership with Multi-Électronique. In addition to measuring a multitude of meteorological and oceanographic parameters at the water surface, these buoys independently collect temperature and salinity profiles to a depth of 200 m without human intervention, and transmit the data in real time.

The buoys are part of the Department’s Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program’s sampling strategy, which, since 1998, has been assessing the oceanographic conditions in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Scotian Shelf, and the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf. The program aims to better understand, describe and predict the state of the marine ecosystem, as well as to quantify the changes observed in the physical, chemical and biological properties of the ocean, whether they be seasonal, yearly, or over longer periods. In fact, the buoys are floating laboratories that operate 24 hours a day. They are invaluable to the scientific community for studying climate change and monitoring the state of the ocean.

The automatically acquired profiles are used to quantify the rapid temperature and salinity changes that can occur (due to tides, for example) and to put into context the biological samples obtained by scientists on board vessels at much lower frequency. Mariners also appreciate having offshore wind and wave conditions available in real time from online services.

Data is being collected on target components and features of the local Placentia Bay coastal ecosystem over a four-year study to develop a baseline dataset on eelgrass habitat within Placentia Bay, NL. As part of the study, the presence of other forms of marine vegetation and structure-providing species are documented. Water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature are recorded bi-annually. Marine sediment characterization and pole seines are conducted annually at each site to provide baseline data on the diversity of fish species present. Observations of any aquatic invasive species are documented and reported.

**MARINE VEGETATION :** Eelgrass presence, distribution, and abundance were documented at ten sites in 2018-19. An additional five sites were surveyed in 2019-20. Two eelgrass transects are surveyed at each location semi-annually to document seasonal growth changes in abundance. During each survey, other marine vegetation, soft corals and sponges, are also identified. Any marine vegetation which may be beach-cast along the shoreline is documented and photographed.  

**WATER QUALITY :** Dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, conductivity, and temperature are recorded at the start and endpoint of each eelgrass transect. 72-hour rainfall and wave conditions for the site are also recorded. 

**MARINE SEDIMENT :** During the eelgrass surveys, the composition of the marine sediment is documented at 5m intervals.

**INVENTORY OF VARIOUS SPECIES :** Pole seines are conducted annually at each site to provide baseline data on nearshore fish and invertebrate community assemblages. Aquatic Invasive Species are recorded and reported if encountered throughout the water or shoreline surveys.

This project is part of the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program Initiative under the Oceans Protection Plan of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
Organic pollution, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St. Lawrence System

Keywords: ckan, production
Temporal coverage: 2007-01-01/2010-12-31

The data used to characterize organic pollution come from the global cumulative impacts assessment on habitats and available on the [NCEAS online data repository](https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/view/doi:10.5063/F1S180FS).

Annual pesticide use in tonnes (t) was used as a proxy of organic pollution. The data used came from the FAO and gaps in data were modeled using a linear regression between pesticides and fertilizers or agricultural GDP. Dasymetric maps were then used to distribute fertilizer data over the landscape using 2009 data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) at ~500 m resolution and aggregated to watersheds. Diffusive plume models from each watershed pourpoint (e.g. river mouths) were then used to model the distribution and intensity of organic pollution in coastal and marine environments.

Marine pollution, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St. Lawrence System

Keywords: ckan, production
Temporal coverage: 2003-01-01/2011-12-31

The data used to characterize marine pollution risk come from the global cumulative impacts assessment on habitats and available on the [NCEAS online data repository](https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/view/doi:10.5063/F1S180FS).

Marine pollution was considered to be mainly driver by the shipping industry. As such, the driver layer was constructed by combining the shipping (i.e. shipping lanes) and invasive species (i.e. cargo volume) layers.

Argo is a global array of 3,000 free-drifting profiling floats that measures the temperature and salinity of the upper 2000 m of the ocean. This allows, for the first time, continuous monitoring of the temperature, salinity, and velocity of the upper ocean, with all data being relayed and made publicly available within hours after collection. The array provides 100,000 temperature/salinity profiles and velocity measurements per year distributed over the global oceans at an average of 3-degree spacing. Some floats provide additional bio-geo parameters such as oxygen or chlorophyll. All data collected by Argo floats are publically available in near real-time via the Global Data Assembly Centers (GDACs) in Brest (France) and Monterey (California) after an automated quality control (QC), and in scientifically quality controlled form, delayed mode data, via the GDACs within six months of collection.
