Placentia Bay: North Harbour - NHARB

The station is equipped with an HydroMet OTT Pressure Level Sensor (PLS) measuring water pressure and temperature. The sensor is connected to a SUTRON Satlink2-V2 which collect 1 min average values (from a 1 Hz internal sampling) logged every 10 min and transmitted via an Omni-directional GOES antenna every hour.

The station is installed on a wharf and the sensor is moored at about 3 m depth from mean sea level. This 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.
