Ship-Based Meteorological Data, 2010 ArcticNet, Northwest Passage (Oct)
During the ArcticNet annual cruises of the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen, characteristics of the near-surface atmosphere (basic meteorological elements, incident radiation, CO2 concentration) are monitored in conjunction with surface sea water properties (temperature, salinity, dissolved CO2 and O2) to observe the relationship between the surface micro-climate and the air-sea exchange, with particular interest in CO2. Central to this integrated dataset, the following meteorological variables were recorded at 1 minute intervals (instrument used to collect each variable is in parentheses, and approximate instrument height above surface is indicated): -Wind speed (RM Young Wind Monitor 05103) - 16m height -Wind direction (RM Young Wind Monitor 05103) -16m height -Air Temperature (Vaisala HMP45C212) - 15m height -Relative Humidity (Vaisala HMP45C212) -15m height -Surface temperature (Apogee SI-111 Precision Infrared radiometer) - 8m height All instruments were mounted on a meteorological tower on the bow of the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen.

The data set was checked for completeness, correctness, and consistency of metainformation. Validity of used methods was checked and - if applicable - precision and range of data.
ArcticNet/BP 1002a - Beaufort Sea CTD Data
The CTD data was obtained during the 2010 ArcticNet scientific cruise #1002a in collaboration with the industrial partner BP. The data were collected from August 15 to 25, 2010, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 33 casts associated to 26 stations, located in the Beaufort Sea. The following parameters were measured: temperature, conductivity and pressure (with a Sea-Bird SBE-9plus), dissolved oxygen (Sea-Bird SBE-43), fluorescence (Seapoint chlorophyll fluorometer), CDOM (Wetlabs FL(RT)D), 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.
2016 ROV video surveys (Dives 54-55) in a deep-water environment at Disko Fan (South East Baffin Bay, Canada) aboard CCGS Amundsen
Two video surveys were conducted in July 2016 at Disko Fan (South East Baffin Bay, Nunavut, Canada) using a Super Mohawk remotely operated vehicle (ROV) aboard CCGS Amundsen. The benthic environment was video-recorded and photographed using a high-definition camera (1Cam Alpha, Sub C Imaging, 24.1 megapixels), at a depth range of 888-941 m. Sites suitable for the deployment of box-cores and piston-cores were identified from the videos during the first survey, samples of corals, sponges and a zoanthid were collected (N= 13), and a video transect was conducted. Sea water was collected at several depth intervals from surface to near-bottom to determine calcium carbonate saturation.
Continuous meteorological surface measurement during POLARSTERN cruise PS106/1 (ARK-XXXI/1.1)
The meteorological observatory Polarstern continuously acquires meteorological parameters during times of ship operation. Measurements are taken on various locations on the vessel, instrument heights above sea level are given below. All data is quality controlled. Measurements are checked daily on board by the operator and again prior to publication. Knowingly affected or erroneous data is removed.
Post-processed and mosaicked multibeam echosounder data near Qikiqtarjuaq, NU, Canada.
Multibeam echosounder data near Qikiqtarjuaq were collected by the CCGS Amundsen in 2007 and by the RV Nuliajuk from 2012-2015. Data collected between 2007 and 2014 were processed by the Ocean Mapping Group at the University of New Brunswick (http://www.omg.unb.ca/) and were retrieved from their data sharing interface (http://www.omg.unb.ca/Projects/Arctic/SE_Baffin/). Data collected in 2015 were processed by the Fisheries and Marine Institute at Memorial University of Newfoundland (https://www.mi.mun.ca/) and were obtained directly from them. These datasets were clipped to only include the area near Qikiqtarjuaq relevant to the benthic habitat mapping project lead by the Memorial University Marine Habitat Mapping Group. Individual datasets were mosaicked to create single continuous bathymetry (m) and backscatter (dB) raster layers at 5 m resolution. Mapping activities were funded by ArcticNet and the Government of Nunavut, Department of Environment, Fisheries and Sealing Division to support benthic habitat mapping for marine ecosystem management in this area.
ArcticNet 1101 - Baffin Bay and Northwest Passage CTD data
The CTD data was obtained during the 2011 ArcticNet scientific cruise #1101. The data were collected from July 24 to August 10, 2011, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 34 casts associated to 21 stations, located in Baffin Bay and the Northwest Passage. The following parameters were measured: temperature, conductivity and pressure (with a Sea-Bird SBE-9plus), dissolved oxygen (Sea-Bird SBE-43), fluorescence (Seapoint chlorophyll fluorometer), CDOM (Wetlabs FL(RT)D), nitrate concentration (Satlantic MBARI-ISUS 5T), transmittance (Wetlabs C-Star transmissometer), light intensity (PAR; LI-COR Biosciences) and surface light intensity (sPAR; LI-COR Biosciences). 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.
