Opportunistic sampling may also occur at stations in the Strait of Belle Ilse, station 27, Labrador Shelf, and OSNAP West line in support of ancillary research programs and initiatives. AZOMP sampling is conducted according to standard procedures (https://cat.fsl-bsf.scitech.gc.ca/record=b3951030~S6) and includes: 1- the collection of CTD and Lowered-ADCP profiles and water samples for the determination of physical (e.g., T, S, currents), chemical (e.g., nutrients, pH, transient gases for water mass determination and tracers for ventilation and carbon sequestration studies), and biological (e.g., chl a) variables; 2-  multi net tows for zooplankton;  and 3- vertical ring net tows for plankton. In addition XBTs and Argo floats are commonly deployed and vessel-mounted ADCP is used to determine current profiles. The data collected are synthesized into annual reports on the physical,  chemical and biological changes in Atlantic Canada and the Labrador Sea.”  One primary focus is on changes in the intensity of winter overturning of surface and intermediate-depth waters resulting in water mass formation and is part of the thermohaline circulation that affects the global climate. Convection also transfers atmospheric gases from the surface to intermediate depths, reducing the rate of increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere but increasing the acidity of the ocean\n\ncdm_data_type = Profile\nVARIABLES:\nproject\n...
