BaySys - Henry Larsen Cruise Report 2017

Description

In late September 2016, five oceanographic moorings were deployed in the eastern Hudson Bay and at the entrance to James Bay (Figure 1). These moorings were supposed to be recovered in summer 2017 during the BaySys cruise onboard CCGS Amundsen or White Diamond - a vessel refurnished in 2017 for the Churchill Marine Observatory. Later, a decision on turning the moorings from White Diamond instead of recovery was made. Unfortunately, the slow progress of ship’s inspection from Transport Canada caused multiple delays of ship’s departure from Prince Edward Island and the 2017 cruise was cancelled. Because of the critical role of these moorings for the scientific objectives of oncoming Amundsen cruise in spring 2018, the opportunistic cruise onboard CCGS Henry Larsen was conducted in October 26 – November 1, 2017 in order to maintain the uninterrupted measurements. The goals for this short cruise were to retrieve and re-deploy as many BaySys moorings as possible accompanied with the concurrent CTD and water sampling.

BaySys - Nanuk Field Report 2017

Description

This project took place on the landfast sea ice in southwestern Hudson Bay, near the mouth of the Nelson Estuary. The program was based out of the Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge, which is located near the shore of Hudson Bay between the mouth of the Nelson River and Cape Tatnam. The seasonal ice cover that forms annually within Hudson Bay is composed of both mobile pack ice and landfast ice that forms a narrow band of stationary ice in the near shore areas of Hudson Bay. In southwestern Hudson Bay the landfast ice provided an excellent opportunity to study the freshwater-marine coupling near the mouth of the Nelson River. The area is typically ice covered from November to June, though the landfast ice cover typically becomes unstable is forced offshore during May to early June.

BaySys - William Kennedy Mooring Retrieval 2018

Description

In late September 2016, five oceanographic moorings were deployed (Hornby et al., 2016)in the eastern Hudson Bay and at the entrance to James Bay (Figure 1). These moorings were supposed to be recovered in summer 2017 during the BaySys cruise onboard CCGS Amundsen or R/V William Kennedy. Later, a decision was made on turning the moorings from R/V William Kennedy instead of recovery. Due to the slow progress of the ship’s inspection from Transport Canada, the 2017 cruise was cancelled. An opportunistic cruise onboard CCGS Henry Larsen was successfully conducted on October 26 – November 1, 2017, for retrieval and re-deployment of some of BaySys moorings accompanied by the concurrent CTD and water sampling (Kirillov et al., 2018, 2020; Petrusevich et al., 2020). Unfortunately, mooring JB02 was not recovered during that operation. Finally, MV William Kennedy was ready for field operations in 2018, therefore there was conducted a cruise on September 1-14, 2018 with the main goal of recovery of the mooring JB02 and conducting additional bathymetry surveys, water sampling and CTD casts during transects and in Nelson River estuary
