Continuous air samples were collected on Leg 1 of the CCGS Amundsen cuise in 2007 using a high volume air sampler that drew air through a glass fibre filter followed by two polyurethane foam plugs. Water samples were collected by filter water through a glass fibre filter followed by a solid phase absorbent. Samples were extracted back at the laboratory followed by analysis using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. Data generated included concentration of semi-volatile contaminants in air and water and chiral signature of chiral components.

The CTD data was obtained during the 2007-2008 ArcticNet scientific cruise #0704. The data were collected from August 5 to 16, 2007, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 20 casts, associated to 17 oceanographic stations, in the Hudson Bay. 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.

The all-sky camera system consists of a Nikkon D-90 camera, with a wide-angle fisheye lens, a homemade enclosure with clear acrylic dome end-cap, and a small heater on a thermostat. The system is mounted on a small 'crows nest' above the wheelhouse on the CCGS Amundsen. Maintenance checks were performed daily.

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. As part of this integrated dataset, the following radiation variables were recorded at 1 minute intervals (instrument used to collect each variable is in parentheses): -Incoming shortwave radiation (Eppley pyranometer, model PSP) -Incoming longwave radiation (Eppley pyrgeometer, model PIR) -Incoming photosynthetically active radiation (Kipp & Zonen, PAR-Lite) All instruments were mounted on a platform above the wheelhouse of the CCGS Amundsen

Central to this integrated dataset is an eddy covariance system used to monitor fluxes of CO2, H2O, heat and momentum. The system continuously sampled the following variables at a rate of 10 Hz (instrument used to collect each variable is in parentheses, and approximate instrument height above surface is indicated): -3D wind velocity (Gill WindMaster Pro ultra-sonic anemometer) - 15m -Sonic air temperature (Gill WindMaster Pro ultra-sonic anemometer) - 15m -CO2 molar concentration (LI7500 open path gas analyzer) - 15m -H2O molar concentration (LI7500 open path gas analyzer) - 15m -CO2 mixing ratio (LI7000 integrated into a closed path system) - 15m -H2O mixing ratio (LI7000 integrated into a closed path system) - 15m -3D ship motion - angular rates and accelerations (MotionPak, Systron Donner) - 13m All instruments were mounted on a meteorological tower on the bow of the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen.

Sediment from Hudson Bay was collected with boxcores deployed from the CCGS Amundsen. The boxcores were immediately sectioned at 1 cm (top 10 cm), 2 cm (10 cm to 20 cm depth), or 5 cm (depth > 20 cm) intervals, and aliquoted for a variety of analyses. Sediment samples were then frozen (-20 Celsius) while onboard for approximately 1 month, followed by freeze-drying at the Freshwater Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Winnipeg, MB, Canada. Freeze-dried sediment was stored at room temperature in the dark. Rock Eval pyrolysis of freeze dried sediment samples was performed at the Geological Survey of Canada using a Rock Eval 6 pyrolysis.
