Coastal Environmental Baseline Program (Newfoundland Region), Placentia Bay CTD Moorings

Coastal Environmental Baseline Program (Newfoundland Region), Placentia Bay CTD Moorings This project was completed by the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program (Coastal and Freshwater Ecology Section) in the Newfoundland and Labrador Science Branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). From 2020-2023, there were semi-annual deployments and retrievals of 3 moored CTDs in the bay. From 2020 to November 2021, moored CTDs collected hourly recordings of conductivity, temperature and pressure. From 2021 through 2023, these CTDs collected year-round, hourly, information on temperature, conductivity, pressure, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll-a. Acoustic releases also collected hourly ambient noise (mV) data. This record contains the geographic locations of the sites, and information on the timings and types of data collected at each site. 2024-05-16 Fisheries and Oceans Canada Kate.Dalley@dfo-mpo.gc.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyCoastal Environmental Baseline ProgramAquatic ecosystemsCoastal watersMarine biologyOceanographyTemperatureWater qualityBiochemistry Data Dictionary_Site locations.csvCSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/92d7951e-19b2-4e96-a9ad-ed55c64fb67d/attachments/Data%20Dictionary_Site%20locations.csv Dictionnaire de données - emplacements des sites.csvCSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/92d7951e-19b2-4e96-a9ad-ed55c64fb67d/attachments/Dictionnaire%20de%20donn%C3%A9es%20-%20emplacements%20des%20sites.csv SHP_EN.7zSHP https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/92d7951e-19b2-4e96-a9ad-ed55c64fb67d/attachments/SHP_EN.7z SHP_FR.7zSHP https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/92d7951e-19b2-4e96-a9ad-ed55c64fb67d/attachments/SHP_FR.7z Web Map ServiceESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/PlacentiaBay_CTD_Moorings/MapServer Web Map ServiceESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/PlacentiaBay_CTD_Moorings/MapServer
