Maritimes Region Glider Delayed Mode Data LaHave-SEA032 Emerald Basin 20210914

The Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) was implemented in year 1998 by the four Atlantic regions of Fisheries and Oceans Canada to collect and analyze the biological, chemical, and physical oceanographic field data to characterize and understand the causes of oceanic variability at various time scales, provide multidisciplinary datasets to establish relationships among variables, and provide adequate data to support the development of ocean activities.

Ocean gliders were first acquired by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in year 2017 and 2018 for both the West and East coasts. On the East coast, they have been used to monitor hydrographic sections associated with the AZMP. Here, Emerald Basin was surveyed in support of the Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring Glider Project.
