As Canada's national data center, the historical tide and water level data archive presently holds over 500 million records with the earliest dating back before the turn of the century. Over 2 million new observations, reported from the CHS permanent gauging network, are added on a daily and monthly basis. Data are also exchanged annually with Environment Canada.

• Daily Ferry Data

Data collected on a return ferry sailing, starting and finishing at Swartz Bay (Water Clarity, Salinity, Chlorophyll concentration, Surface Temperature).

Monthly average temperatures, standard deviations and daily maximum and minimum temperatures for water depths less than 12 metres are presented for inshore fishing areas of the Canadian East Coast.

An interactive system for data storage, analyses, visualization and extraction. It has its own built-in data storage and archival capabilities for various types of hydrographic data (e.g., bottle, CTD, XBT, MBT, MVP/MVCTD) providing immediate (quick) access to massive data collections.

Figures at this site show contours of median temperature and salinity through the Gulf of Alaska. Summer and winter figures are presented separately at each of 46 depths through the gulf.

This is a sample of the catalogue of cruises from which ISDM holds data. Other years can be obtained by filling out this request form.

Data archive contains the holdings of oceanographic data generated by the Institute of Ocean Sciences and other agencies and laboratories, including the Institute of Oceanography at the University of British Columbia and the Pacific Biological Station.
