description: Le Programme de Monitorage de la Zone Atlantique au large du plateau continental (PMZAO) recueille et analyse les observations océanographiques physiques, chimiques et biologiques du talus continental et des eaux profondes de l'Atlantique Nord-Ouest, dans le but global de monitorer la variabilité du climat océanique et du plancton affectant les écosystèmes au large des côtes atlantiques canadiennes et des systèmes climatiques à l'échelle régionale et globale. Les mesures annuelles dans la mer du Labrador ont débuté en 1990 en tant que contribution à la « World Ocean Circulation Experiment » (WOCE) et ont évolué en un effort de monitorage régional multidisciplinaire faisant partie du réseau Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP) (https://www.go-ship.org/HydroMan.html). Le plan d'échantillonnage du PMZAO dans le Canada atlantique et la mer du Labrador comprend un échantillonnage annuel de l’Atlantic Repeat 7-West (AR7W), un transect de 880 km qui s’étend de la côte du Labrador jusqu’au côtes du Groenland et de la ligne Halifax du PMZA étendue par le sud vers la plaine abyssale. Un échantillonnage opportuniste peut également avoir lieu dans le détroit de Belle Ilse, à la station 27, sur le plateau du Labrador et la ligne 53 nord de OSNAP et en appuie à d’autres programmes ancillaires. L'échantillonnage du PMZAO est effectué selon les standard du programme Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP) (https://www.go-ship.org/HydroMan.html) et comprend : 1- la collecte de profils CTD et LADCP et d'échantillons d'eau pour la détermination des caractéristiques physiques (p. ex. T, S, courants), chimiques (p. ex. , nutriments, pH, gaz traces détermination de la masse et/ou pour estimer la ventilation et de séquestration du carbone) et biologiques (p. ex. chl-a, production primaire et propriétés optiques) ; 2- traits de filets conique verticaux et stratifiés pour les mesures d’abondance et la description de la communaut… @fr
description: The Atlantic Zone Off-Shelf Monitoring Program (AZOMP) collects and analyzes physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic observations from the continental slope and deep basins of the Northwest Atlantic, with the overarching goal of monitoring variability in ocean climate and plankton affecting ecosystems off Atlantic Canada and climate systems at both regional and global scales. Annual measurements in the Labrador Sea began in 1990 as a contribution to the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) and have evolved into a multidisciplinary regional monitoring effort and part of the Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP). AZOMP's sampling scheme off Atlantic Canada and the Labrador Sea involves annual sampling of both the Atlantic Repeat 7-West (AR7W) line, a 880 km-line running across the Labrador Sea from Labrador to Greenland coast and extended Halifax Line, deep-water stations over the Scotian Slope and Rise located at the end of AZMP’s Halifax Line. Opportunistic sampling also may occur at stations in the Strait of Belle Ilse, station 27, Labrador Shelf, and OSNAP West line in support of ancillary research programs and initiatives. AZOMP sampling is conducted according to standard Go-Ship protocols (https://www.go-ship.org/HydroMan.html) and includes: 1- the collection of CTD and Lowered-ADCP profiles and water samples for the determination of physical (e.g., T, S, currents), chemical (e.g., nutrients, Carbonate system, transient gases for water mass determination and/or ventilation and carbon sequestration studies), and biological (e.g., chl a, Primary production and optical properties) variables; 2- Stratified multi net tows for zooplankton; and 3- vertical ring net tows for plankton. In addition XBTs and Argo floats are commonly deployed and vessel-mounted ADCP is used to water masses structures at a smaller scale. The data collected are synthesized into annual reports on the physical, chemical and biological changes in Atl…
