  1. AZMP – Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program ICES WGNARS Meeting 20-22 April 2010 Woods Hole, MA • AZMP fulfills DFO’s mandate by providing the datasets that are necessary to: • Characterize and understand the causes of ocean variability at seasonal and interannual scales; • Provide adequate data to support sound development of ocean activities; • Provide historical databases, including biological data, to address future issues.

  2. AZMP – Observation component Groundfish survey cruisesSelected stations Transects – Spring and fall Fixed stations – Every two weeks

  3. AZMP – Properties measured Standard measurements • Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence • Nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate • Chlorophyll-a and Phaeophytin • Zooplankton abundance and biomass Selected ancillary measurements • Satellite ocean colour and sea surface temperature • Air temperature • Sea level • Freshwater runoff • Ice coverage • Continuous Plankton Recorder transects • Nearshore high frequency sampling in Bedford Basin
