description: The Barrow Strait flow observational program started in 1998 and continued for 13 years to 2012. This was followed by the Barrow Strait Real Time Observatory Project until 2016, afterwards the project is a combination of both projects and called Maritimes Region Barrow Strait Monitoring Program. Barrow Strait is the widest of the 4 passages through the Canadian Archipelago making it an important monitoring location. The program explores the magnitude and variability of freshwater, heat and volume transports through the eastern Northwest Passage. The data measured included: profile CTD and time series temperature, salinity, density, currents, ice draft and ice drift velocity. The time series data collected was used to quantify the freshwater discharge from the Arctic Ocean through Barrow Strait into the northwest Atlantic, and link variability in this freshwater outflow to large scale weather patterns. Annual analysis performed on the collected data include: low-pass filtering, power spectra, progressive vector diagram, tidal analyses, seasonal and monthly averaged stats, mean flow, and ice velocities. Data from the program, along with a description of the methods used, have been published annually up to 2015 in the Canadian Data Report of Hydrography and Ocean Sciences report number 190 to 195, 173, 167, 166, 165, 161, and 157. An ocean observatory was installed at the eastern end of the Northwest Passage in 2009 to provide hourly ocean and ice conditions for use by mariners and climate modellers. Data from instrumented moorings are acoustically transmitted to a "data hub" at the offshore end of an underwater cable, sent through the cable, and then transmitted from the shore station by Iridium satellite for access on the web (https://www.bio.gc.ca/science/newtech-technouvelles/observatory-observatoire-en.php) @en
description: Le programme d'observation du débit du détroit de Barrow a débuté en 1998 et s'est poursuivi pendant 13 ans, jusqu'en 2012. Cela a été suivi par le projet d'observatoire en temps réel du détroit de Barrow jusqu'en 2016, puis le projet est une combinaison des deux projets et a été baptisé Programme de surveillance du détroit de Barrow dans la région des Maritimes. Le détroit de Barrow est le plus large des quatre passages de l'archipel canadien, ce qui en fait un lieu de surveillance important. Le programme explore l'ampleur et la variabilité des transports d'eau douce, de chaleur et de volume par l'est du passage du Nord-Ouest. Les données mesurées comprenaient : le profil CTD et les séries chronologiques de température, de salinité, de densité, de courants, de tirant d'eau et de vitesse de dérive des glaces. Les données chronologiques collectées ont été utilisées pour quantifier le débit d'eau douce de l'océan Arctique par le détroit de Barrow dans l'Atlantique nord-ouest, et établir un lien entre la variabilité de ce débit sortant d'eau douce et les conditions météorologiques à grande échelle. Les analyses annuelles effectuées sur les données collectées incluent : le filtrage passe-bas, les spectres de puissance, le diagramme vectoriel progressif, les analyses des marées, les statistiques moyennes saisonnières et mensuelles, le débit moyen et la vitesse des glaces. Les données du programme, ainsi qu'une description des méthodes utilisées, ont été publiées chaque année jusqu'en 2015 dans le rapport de données canadiennes sur l'hydrographie et les sciences océaniques numéros 190 à 195, 173, 167, 166, 165, 161 et 157. Un observatoire océanique a été installé à l'extrémité est du passage du Nord-Ouest en 2009 pour fournir des informations horaires sur l'état de l'océan et des glaces à l'intention des navigateurs et des modélisateurs climatiques. Les données provenant d'amarrages instrumentés sont transmises acoustiquement à un « hub de données » situé à l'extrémité of…
