Purpose: Provide core physical oceanographic data for all arctic research teams onboard CCGS Amundsen and other interested scientists. The underway ThermoSalinoGraph (TSG) system records data on surface seawater temperature, salinity, fluorescence and sound velocity along the transit route. These data constitute ancillary data for all other data recorded during the CCGS Amundsen scientific expeditions by providing information on the prevailing physical oceanic conditions in which biological, chemical and physical samplings were conducted. They also provide long-term records of the basic parameters central to the study of physical oceanographic processes, more specifically water column structure, water masses characteristics and oceanic circulation, in the Canadian Arctic Ocean.

| attribute | NC_GLOBAL | summary | String | The Canadian research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen is equipped with an underway ThermoSalinoGraph (TSG) system, which continuously records surface seawater temperature, salinity, fluorescence and sound velocity along the transit route. Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QAQC) data are available for the summer periods between 2005 and 2021, except in 2007, 2008 and 2012 where the system was faulty or the ship was in maintenance. The TSG data were corrected and controlled by comparing them to CTD-Rosette data and in situ measures when available. Outliers and suspicious measurements were removed from the dataset. Variables are provided every 7 minutes. Research programs participating in the Amundsen expeditions between 2005 and 2021 include, ArcticNet, CFL, Geotraces, Malina, IOL and BP, BREA, Weston, Netcare, JAMSTEC, Statoil and iBO, GreenEdge, BAYSYS, Sentinel Nord (BriGHT, BOND), DFO ROV vulnerable marine ecosystem, and the Kitikmeot marine Ecosystem. |
