Synopsis

Oceanographic Observations from Kennedy Channel to Baffin Bay—the 1963 Survey

This report presents the oceanographic data collected during a late July to early August 1963 survey. The work covers Kennedy Channel, Kane Basin, Smith Sound, and upper Baffin Bay, with physical, chemical, and geological oceanography, plus bathymetry. It reflects a joint effort that included U.S. Coast Guard scientists and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution staff, conducted under ONR sponsorship.

The book frames a detailed field season that saw ice conditions shift and a robust program of measurements. It explains how the Evergreen conducted the survey, the placement of toroidal buoys and current meters, and the careful data collection that followed. Readers will find information on temperature and salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, and bottom samples, as well as a strong emphasis on bathymetric data quality and accurate soundings. The material is presented with tables and figures drawn from the field data, along with notes on equipment and data processing.

A precise, station-by-station account of measurements across the study region, including depths from the surface to near bottom.
Descriptions of instruments and procedures used to gather temperature, salinity, nutrients, and dissolved oxygen data.
Discussion of ice conditions, weather, and ice-island influence on the survey and data quality.
Complementary bathymetric and sediment information that supports the oceanographic data set.

Ideal for researchers and students seeking a historical, data-driven view of Arctic coastal waters and the methods used to map their physical and chemical properties during a single field season. This edition supports study of oceanography methods, data interpretation, and marine environment context for the Kennedy Channel and surrounding areas.
