Abstract:

This dataset contains CTD measurements taken in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023 during expeditions to Herschel Island - Qikiqtaruk, Yukon, Canada. For the data recording a CTD CastAway was used. The sampling was conducted from a boat from which the CTD was lowered to the sea floor at the specific sampling sites. The sampling information encompasses the GPS position, water depth, pressure, temperature, electrical conductivity, specific conductance, and salinity.
