Scientific Data and Products

• Global Telecommunications Service (GTS) data,
• Kiel Deep Drifter Data,
• Surface Velocity Programme (SVP) data

Global sea surface meteorological and oceanographic observations reported in daily and historical time frames.

The charts in this Atlas show the intensity and direction of the surface currents in the Mingan Archipelago, between Île aux Perroquets and La Grande Pointe, where the tides and the freshwater outflow dominate the circulation of the surface waters.

Search the Institute of Ocean Sciences / Ocean Sciences Data Inventory for data from moored instrumentation. This application will return inventory information about the data records that meet the search criteria but will not return the actual data.

The BIO archive of current meter data searched to identify instruments that were located within 10 meters of the bottom. The current statistics provided include monthly maximum observed current speed (without regard to direction), magnitude and direction of the mean current and the variability as defined by the principal axis components.

• Coastal Time Series (CTS),
• Hydrographic (Climate),
• Ocean Colour Database (OCDB),
• Ocean Data Inventory (ODI),
• Sea-surface Temperature (SST)

Access to a number of databases maintained by Ocean Sciences at the Bedford Institute. The databases include temperature-salinity profiles for the North West Atlantic, sea-surface temperature from satellite, monthly statistics of ocean currents and other moored instruments, and daily temperature observations from coastal thermographs.

The Tides, Currents, and Water Levels Web Site provides predicted times and heights of high and low waters, and the hourly water levels for over seven hundred stations in Canada.
