Beaufort Regional Environmental Assessment (BREA) - Marine Observatories mooring data in the Canadian Arctic
ArcticNet and IMG-Golder established southern and eastern Beaufort Sea Marine Observatories in 2011. The first pair of moorings (BRA and BRB) is in the southern Beaufort Sea, roughly 100 nautical miles northwest of Tuktoyaktuk. These deployments aimed at maintaining the existing ArcticNet time series initiated in 2009 in collaboration with Imperial Oil and BP. The second observatory, also deployed in 2011, consisted of two moorings (BR1 and BR2) north of the Mackenzie Trough at the western limit of the Beaufort Sea. Another pair of moorings BRG and BRK, launched in 2012 and 2014, are located off the northwest coast of Banks Island, starting a time series in the northeastern Beaufort Sea where year-round measurements have never been obtained before. Finally, two new moorings (BR3 and BR4) were also deployed at the end of the program in 2014 near BR2 and BRG respectively. For every year of deployment, each mooring line was equipped with various oceanographic instruments attached at different depths from approximately 150 m to 750 m. Moored instruments included conductivity-temperature sensors, ice profiling sonars, particle analyzers, current meters, current profilers, and sediment traps. Datasets include currents, ice draft and velocities, water levels, temperature, salinity and turbidity, chlorophyll, suspended particulate size and concentration, and vertical carbon flux; See CCIN10476 for Vertical flux data on Phyto and Zooplankton as well as on chemical parameters such as POC. Data are quality assessed/quality controlled (QA/QC) following the Climate and Forecast (CF http://cfconventions.org/) conventions and building upon the open-source Integrated Marine Observatory System (IMOS) toolbox developed for Matlab© by the Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN). The five moorings provided ready to use quality data for the period 2011-2015. BRG and BR1 time series were extended along with two moorings BR3 and BRK until 2018 during the iBO project (CCIN 13107).

Multibeam Sonar Data collected from the CCGS Amundsen (2003-2018)
Accoustic data was generated using an EM300 (2003-2008) and EM302 (2008-2017) multibeam sonar system onboard the CCGS Amundsen during ArcticNet Cruises. This bathymetric dataset covers the Canadian Arctic and includes all bathymetric data collected from CCGS Amundsen. The dataset consists of high-resolution bathymetry and acoustic backscatter imagery collected 24 hours a day, whenever the ship was in transit or during dedicated survey time. Standard collection settings used dual-ping, FM pulse, auto depth mode, angular coverage of +/- 60 degrees and high density equidistant beam forming. The SIS software was used to collect the data. From 2003-2013, near realtime cleaning of data outliers was done using the Ocean Mapping Group's Swathed toolkit after conversion to OMG binary format. After 2014, the data cleaning was done using CARIS HIPS&SIPS software. Data was exported in Generic Sensor Format (.gsf). IMU data was parsed by SIS from a POSMv 320 v.4. RTG GPS data from the CNAV 3050 GNSS receiver was used to correct and improve the position output from the POSMV via a RTCM correction protocol. Soundspeed information was either from CTD Rosette casts, MVP300 data or simulated from the World Ocean Atlas 2009 database. Data are gridded at a resolution of 10 metres. Grid files available are in binary floating point file (.flt). The grids will be available shortly on the Université Laval library's geospatial center website (www.geoindex-plus.bibl.ulaval.ca/). Note: 2003-2013 data was collected and processed by the OMG of University of New Brunswick (www.omg.unb.ca/Projects). 2014-2017 data was collected and processed by the Marine Geoscience Laboratory at Université Laval (www.lgm.ggr.ulaval.ca/index.php/projets/amundsen/). The 2018 data was collected and processed by Amundsen Science (http://www.amundsen.ulaval.ca). In 2018, Amundsen Science included the multibeam bathymetry data into the Amundsen Science Data Collection.

ArcticNet 0704a - Labrador fjords and sea CTD data
The CTD data was obtained during the 2007-2008 ArcticNet scientific cruise #0704. The data were collected from July 30 to August 3, 2007, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 20 casts, associated to 20 oceanographic stations, in the three Labrador fjords and Labrador Sea. The following parameters were measured: temperature, conductivity and pressure (with a Sea-Bird SBE-9plus), dissolved oxygen (Sea-Bird SBE-43), pH (Sea-Bird SBE-18-I), fluorescence (Seapoint chlorophyll fluorometer), nitrate concentration (Satlantic MBARI-ISUS 5T), transmittance (Wetlabs C-Star transmissometer), light intensity (PAR; Biospherical Instruments QCP2300) and surface light intensity (sPAR; Biospherical Instruments QCP2200). Quality control procedures were applied to the data. Data are available on the Polar Data Catalogue and at the Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
