Physical oceanographic conditions in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 2014 / P.S. Galbraith ... [et al.]. : Fs70-5/2015-032E-PDF
This document examines the physical oceanographic conditions and related atmospheric forcing in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 2014. It complements similar reviews of the environmental conditions on the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf and the Scotian Shelf and Gulf of Maine as part of the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP). The last detailed report of physical oceanographic conditions in the Gulf of St. Lawrence was produced for the year 2013. Specifically, it discusses air temperature, freshwater runoff, sea-ice volume, surface water temperature and salinity, winter water mass conditions (e.g., the near-freezing mixed layer volume, the volume of dense water that entered the Gulf through the Strait of Belle Isle), the summertime cold intermediate layer (CIL), and the temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen of the deeper layers. Some of the variables are spatially averaged over distinct regions of the Gulf.
