AZMP's sampling scheme in the Maritimes Region involves oceanographic sampling at two high-frequency (biweekly to monthly) fixed coastal stations, biannual sampling at stratified-random locations during DFO-led Ecosystem Trawl Surveys, biannual sampling along fixed cross-shelf sections (Cabot Strait Line, Louisbourg Line, Halifax Line, Browns Bank Line, and the Northeast Channel); the latter of which may also include opportunistic sampling at stations in the Laurentian Channel, Gulf of Maine, and various Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in support of ancillary research programs and initiatives. AZMP sampling is conducted according to standard procedures (see https://cat.fsl-bsf.scitech.gc.ca/record=b3951030~S6) and includes the collection of CTD profiles and water samples for the determination of physical (e.g., T, S), chemical (e.g., nutrients, oxygen, pH), and biological (chl a) variables and vertical ring net tows. The data collected are synthesized into two annual reports on the physical and chemical/biological changes in the Maritimes Region, and are also used to evaluate changes across the Atlantic zone.\n\ncdm_data_type = Profile\nVARIABLES:\nproject\nplatform_name\nplatform_id (WMO Platform Code)\nchief_scientist\ncruise_name\ncruise_number\ngeographic_area\nstation\nid (Original File Name)\nevent_number\nprofile_direction\nlatitude (degrees_north)\n...

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...

These surveys consist of research vessel survey data collected to monitor the distribution and abundance of fish and invertebrates throughout the Scotian Shelf, Bay of Fundy and Georges Bank. The surveys follow a stratified random sampling design, and includes sampling of fish and invertebrates using a bottom trawl. These survey data are the primary data source for monitoring trends in fish species distribution, abundance, and biological conditions within the region. “Spring” cruises occur in January, February, March and April, and focus on Georges Bank. “Summer” cruises occur in May, June, July and August and these focus on the Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy. A vessel change occurred in 1982 when the A.T. Cameron was replaced by the Lady Hammond and in 1983 when the Alfred Needler became the principal survey vessel.  Now the Captain Jacques Cartier, built in 2019 and delivered in 2020, will serve as the primary offshore fishery science vessels in the Maritimes Region.  \n    \n    Also as part of these surveys, physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic observations are collected as part of the Atlantic Zonal Monitoring Program (AZMP).  AZMP sampling is conducted according to standard procedures (see https://cat.fsl-bsf.scitech.gc.ca/record=b3951030~S6) and includes the collection of CTD profiles and water samples for the determination of physical (e.g., T, S), chemical (e.g., nutrients, oxygen, pH), and biological (chl a) variables and vertical ring net tows. The data collected are synthesized into two annual reports on the physical and chemical/biological changes in the Maritimes Region.  AZMP aims to detect and track climate change and variability in the northwest Atlantic, evaluating changes in the physical, chemical and biological ocean properties and predator-prey dynamics of marine resources, thereby enhancing Canada's ability to understand, describe, and forecast the state of the marine ecosystem”. This record includes only hydrographic/CTD data collected during the spring and summer ecosystem surveys, conducted between 1998 to present.\n\ncdm_data_type = Profile\nVARIABLES:\nproject\nplatform_name\nplatform_id (WMO Platform Code)\n...

Barrow Strait is the widest of the 4 passages through the Canadian Archipelago making it an important monitoring location.  The program explores the magnitude and variability of freshwater, heat and volume transports through the eastern Northwest Passage. The data measured included: profile CTD and time series temperature, salinity, density, currents, ice draft and ice drift velocity. The time series data collected was used to quantify the freshwater discharge from the Arctic Ocean through Barrow Strait into the northwest Atlantic, and link variability in this freshwater outflow to large scale weather patterns. Annual analysis performed on the collected data include: low-pass filtering, power spectra, progressive vector diagram, tidal analyses, seasonal and monthly averaged stats, mean flow, and ice velocities.  Data from the program, along with a description of the methods used, have been published annually in the Canadian Data Report of Hydrography and Ocean Sciences report number 190 to 195, 173, 167, 166, 165, 161, and 157.\n\ncdm_data_type = Profile\nVARIABLES:\nproject\nplatform_name\nplatform_id (WMO Platform Code)\nchief_scientist\ncruise_name\ncruise_number\ngeographic_area\nstation\nid (Original File Name)\nevent_number\nprofile_direction\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\npreciseLat (Latitude East, degrees_north)\npreciseLon (Longitude North, degrees_east)\ntime (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\n...
