KLUMI (47.59359 N , 54.27349 W) is a 10 m mast weather station equipped with a Gill ultrasonic wind sensor (WindSonic, option 4). The data are collected via a SUTRON Satlink2-V2 logger connected to an Omni-directional GOES antenna; transmitting near real-time data every hour. 1 min average wind speed and direction as well as gust (maximum) are calculated from the sensor 1 Hz internal sampling rate and recorded by the logger every 10 min. The mast is installed on a barren island, about 10 m height from the mean sea level, located on the northeast side of Placentia Bay.  Wind observations are thus made at about 20 m from mean sea level. This weather station is part of a monitoring program led by the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Centre (Fisheries and Oceans, Canada) to provide with an oceanographic baseline of the area.

A 3 metre diameter meteorological/oceanographic buoy built by AXYS Environmental Technologies of Sidney, British Columbia. The buoy is located in St. John's Bay just north of Cape Spear at the approaches to St. John's Harbour in about 160 m. water depth. The buoy's purpose is to monitor and transmit in near real time meteorological and oceanographic data in support of operational efficiency, safety and situational awareness for marine transportation. The buoy also provides a continuous data feed in support of the Science and R&D community.The buoy is capable of measuring a variety of atmospheric and surface conditions including: wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, dew point, barometric pressure, water temperature, current speed and direction (0.5 m. depth), wave height, direction and period as well as wave spectral information. The buoy is also equipped with an Aids to Navigation Information System (ATONiS) allowing direct transmittal of the buoy data to a ship's bridge.

Diamond Jubilee Cruise Ship Terminal Meteorological Station

Near-real time access to physical environmental observations such as local wind speed and direction are some of the basic requirements of a modern 'Smart Port' operation. Along with accurate site forecasts, these observations are essential in promoting the operational efficiency, safety and situational awareness of vessel movements within the harbour and its berthing locations. Amec Foster Wheeler, in partnership with the Marine Institute of Memorial University Center for Applied Ocean Technology, under the direction of the Port of Saint John has added this pre-existing anemometer station to the SmartAtlantic website. This station consists of a Gill WindSonic anemometer mounted to a seven metre tower located on the roof of the Diamond Jubilee Cruise Ship Terminal building. And is capable of measuring and reporting accurate wind data which is reported live via the SmartAtlantic ocean observation system website.

Northern Shrimp Research Foundation (NSRF) CTD Profiles

The Northern Shrimp Research Foundation (NSRF) was established in 2002 to address gaps in scientific data and research in the North in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The NSRF conducts shrimp research surveys in the Eastern Assessment zone (EAZ) and Western Assessment zone (WAZ). Using a DFO designed shock-absorbing CTD sled containing a Seabird model SBE-19plus CTD the NSRF shrimp surveys collect physical oceanographic data (e.g., T, S) at each fishing set since 2005. The package attached to the trawl head-ropes records time, water pressure, temperature, and conductivity for the duration of the fishing set.

  In addition, the NSRF survey collects CTD data and water samples from vertical rosette profiles since 2022 in collaboration with the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP). This sampling is conducted according to standard procedures developed by AZMP and includes the collection of CTD profiles and water samples for the determination of physical (e.g., T, S), chemical (e.g., nutrients), and biological (chl a) variables and vertical ring net tows.

  This record includes data that is collected from surveys jointly conducted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the Northern Shrimp Research Foundation (NSRF) from 2005 to present.

Newfoundland and Labrador Region Multi-Species Survey Trawl-Mounted CTD Profiles

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Newfoundland and Labrador Region, has undertaken stratified-random multi-species surveys in portions of Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) subareas 2 and 3 since the early 1970’s. The current survey design covers an expansive spatial area, spanning six NAFO divisions (2HJ3KLNO) and 515,000 km2 in the autumn and four NAFO divisions (3LNOP) and 324,000 km2 in the spring. The survey aims at determining the distribution and abundance of commercial and non-commercial fish and invertebrate species with respect to position, depth, and temperature, and to collect biological samples.

        In 1989 DFO developed a shock-absorbing CTD sled containing a Seabird model SBE-19 CTD that could be mounted on a trawl, which is now the primary instrument used to collect physical oceanographic data (e.g., T, S) during multi-species surveys in NL region. The package attached to the trawl head-ropes records time, water pressure, temperature, and conductivity for the duration of the fishing set. In the event of instrument failure an expendable bathythermograph (XBT) is deployed.

        In addition, this survey samples the high-frequency station, Station 27, in collaboration with the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP).

        This record includes only hydrographic/CTD data collected during the spring and autumn multi-species surveys, conducted between 1995 to present.

Newfoundland and Labrador Region Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) Rosette Vertical Profiles

The Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) was implemented in 1998 with the aim of detecting and tracking 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. AZMP's sampling scheme in the Newfoundland and Labrador Region involves oceanographic sampling at one high-frequency (biweekly to monthly) fixed coastal station (Station 27) as well as triannual sampling along fixed cross-shelf sections (Beachy Island, Makkovik Bank, Seal Island, White Bay, Bonavista Bay, Flemish Cap, Southeast Grand Banks, Southeast St. Pierre Bank and Southwest St. Pierre Bank). 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, carbonates, oxygen, pH), and biological (e.g., 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 Newfoundland and Labrador Region, contribute to multiple Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) and Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) processes, and are also used to evaluate changes across the Atlantic zone.

Potash Terminal Tide and Meteorological Station

Near-real time access to physical environmental observations such as local wind and sea levels are some of the basic requirements of a modern 'Smart Port' operation. Along with accurate site forecasts, these observations are essential in promoting the operational efficiency, safety and situational awareness of vessel movements within a harbour and its approaches. In this context, Amec Foster Wheeler, in partnership with the Marine Institute of Memorial University Center for Applied Ocean Technology, has developed this wind and water level monitoring station (tide gauge) to satisfying the Port of Saint John objectives for a water level and wind monitoring station for Courtenay Bay. The station is capable of measuring and reporting accurate data and is reported live via the SmartAtlantic ocean observation system website. This station consists of a Yaleport TideMaster water level recorder with Yaleport VRS20 radar (water) level sensor and a Gill WindSonic anemometer to measure wind speed and direction.
