New Findings Presented at Ocean Sciences 2014

A new batch of interesting talks and posters were presented at the February 2014 Ocean Sciences Meeting by scientists using Ocean Networks Canada data and facilities. These included work by scientists in a range of disciplines as well as several of our staff members. 

Marine Biology

Inter- and Intra-Annual Variability of Zooplankton Abundance in Saanich Inlet, British Columbia

This poster by researchers at the University of Washington, Institute of Ocean Sciences and the University of Victoria presents an innovative way to visualize echosounder data to the variability of zooplankton...

Ocean Properties

Oceanographers and marine scientists measure or observe attributes or properties of the ocean that allow them to interpret water or component or organism behaviour. Although Ocean Networks Canada cannot measure all required parameters, many instruments are available to provide useful data.

This section discusses the properties measured and provides links to the instruments that provide all or part of the information. Not all parameters are measured at all locations, and some locations have more than one instrument that will measure the same feature in different ways.

Bottom Animal Behaviour

Sometimes biologists have to see animals to understand their actions related to abundance, feeding, competition, and mating. Thus, a camera on the seafloor can often reveal...

Storm Watching

19-23 January 2012:

 An intense windstorm left thousands of Vancouver Islanders out of power and forced BC Ferries to suspend service to the mainland on the 22nd. Wind gusts exceeding 110km/h were recorded in places, as a train of intense low pressure systems struck Vancouver Island's west coast one after another. Wave buoy data at the La Perouse Bank (located approximately 50km northwest of Folger Node, ISDM ID online data: C46206) showed extreme waves reaching as high as 18m on 22-23 January.
