Sinking export of organic material was investigated during the fall of 2007, using free-drifting, short-term particle interceptor traps . The particle interceptor traps were deployed at 6 stations along a transect spanning between the North Water polynya (Baffin Bay) and the Beaufort Sea. The traps were deployed from the CCGS Amundsen at three depths below the euphotic zone (50, 100 and 150 m) for a period between 8 and 22 hours. The analyses on the sinking material included total chlorophyll a and phaopigments (fluorometric determination), particulate organic carbon and nitrogen, biogenic silica, cell composition and abundance and fecal pellet abundance.

Acoustic data was generated from the multibeam Kongsberg Simrad EM300 and EM302 multibeam sonar system on the CCGS Amundsen. This bathymetric data subset covers the Greenlandic Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ), i.e. outside of the 12 nm territorial sea extent and within the 200 nm EZZ, from 2003 to 2014. The datasets consist of high-resolution bathymetry and acoustic backscatter imagery collected 24 hours a day, whenever the ship was in transit or had dedicated survey time. Standard collection settings used dual-ping, FM pulse, auto depth mode, angular coverage of +/- 60 degrees and high density equidistant beamforming. The SIS software was used to collect the data, while near real-time cleaning of data outliers was done using the Caris HIPS&SIPS software after conversion to Generic Sensor Format (GSF) for input into MB-System database manager. Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data was parsed by SIS from a POSMv 320 v.4. RTG GPS data from the CNav 3050 GPS was used to correct and improve the position output from the POSMv with RTCM correction. Soundspeed information was either from CTD Rosette casts, MVP300 data or simulated from the World Ocean Atlas 2009 database. The resolution of data is 10 metres. Available tiles are in ESRI grid format (.asc). The OMG of University of New Brunswick were responsible for 2003-2013 data (http://www.omg.unb.ca/Projects). From 2014, responsibility switched to the Marine Geomorphology Laboratory of Laval University.

The CTD data was obtained during the 2011 ArcticNet scientific cruise #1103a. The data were collected from September 26 to October 3, 2011, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 35 casts associated to 27 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.

Raw data collected using a creative webcam and an acryllic hemispherical mirror dome installed on the roof of the wheelhouse of the CCGS Amundsen. Data were collected from summer to fall 2009 in the Southern Beaufort Sea and Amundsen Gulf areas.

Processed atmospheric ceiling heights were recorded from a CT25K ceilometer. The instrument was mounted on the CCGS Amundsen icebreaker on the port side directly behind the ship's wheelhouse. Data were collected during transit, set transects, 24-hour stations, and multi-day drift stations. The instrument was running continuously during the project, with only minor interruptions for maintenance activities.

The webcam was installed on the navigation deck of CCGS Amundsen on the port side (see http://www.amundsen.ulaval.ca/index.php?url=11511&sub=1). Its field of view nearly match with that of microwave radiometer. Thus, both of the instruments look at the same area on the ground. The webcam is set to acquire JPEG images every 5 seconds or it can be set according to the requirement by the user. A sodium lamp has be lighted on the port side to get the pictures during the night time.

The data set is composed of raw files recorded with the Kongsberg Maritime SX90 long-range, low frequency (20-30 kHz) fisheries sonar during the CCGS Amundsen 2011 summer expedition in the Beaufort Sea. The sonar was operated during 4 dedicated surveys (109 hours) and during 258 hours of opportunistic survey, from 27 August to 3 October. The sonar transducer was lowered 2.5 feet below the hull through a gate-valve. The cylindrical 256-elements transducer allows both a horizontal and a vertical sound transmission, and the omni-directional sonar beam can be tilted from +10 to -60 degrees to scan a large portion of the water column. The raw acoustic data were saved onto an external drive and print screens of interesting targets (fish schools and/or marine mammals) were recorded.

An incubation experiment was conducted on board of the Canadian research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen between 6 and 15 August 2015. The water was collected near the nitracline at 38 m depth in Baffin Bay using 12-L Niskin-type bottles deployed on a CTD rosette system. A natural Arctic plankton community in a pre-bloom stage (initial high nutrient-low Chl a concentrations) was exposed over 9 days to reduced pH conditions under two contrasting light regimes. The two light regimes were designed to simulate the mean irradiance in an ice-free 5-m thick surface mixed layer (HL, marginal ice bloom conditions) and the mean irradiance at 5 m depth under a melting ponded ice pack (LL, under-ice bloom/ subsurface chlorophyll maximum conditions). The pH gradient comprised 6 levels covering the range of pH expected between the present and the year 2300. During the incubation, a phytoplankton bloom developed in every incubation bag and diatoms dominated the biomass (Chaetoceros spp.). Temporal variations of pH, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, chlorophyll a, macronutrients, DMS(P), flow cytometry (nano- and pico-phytoplankton, bacteria, virus), taxonomy, salinity and incubator's temperature are available.

During the ArcticNet annual cruises of the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen, characteristics of the near-surface atmosphere are monitored in conjunction with surface sea water properties to observe the relationship between the surface micro-climate and the air-sea exchange , with particular interest in CO2. 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; and, 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.

The CTD data was obtained during leg #0602 of the 2006 ArcticNet scientific cruise. The data were collected from September 4 to 28, 2006, aboard the CCGS Amundsen. There were 69 casts, associated to 47 oceanographic stations, in the Northwest Passage research area. 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 transmissiometer), 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.
