The COASTAL DYNAMICS - FERRIES working group is composed of individuals and/or groups engaged in data analyses and the operations of the ONC: Strait of Georgia Ferries Monitoring Program. This community shares broad interests in measuring and understanding spatio-temporal variation of the physical, chemical and biological surface properties of the southern-central Strait of Georgia.
The ONC: Strait of Georgia Ferries Monitoring Program currently maintains instruments onboard three BC Ferries routes (see map above) transiting between Vancouver Island and the mainland along: 1) the 'southern route' between Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen (F/V Spirit of Vancouver Island; started 2014); 2) the 'central route' between Duke Point and Tsawwassen (F/V Queen of Alberni; started 2012); and 3) the 'northern route' between Departure Bay and Horseshoe Bay (F/V Queen of Oak Bay; started 2015). Core measurements on each ferry include: 1) Sea-surface monitoring - salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity and coloured dissolved organic matter; and 2) Meteorological monitoring - wind speed/direction, air pressure, relative humidity and downward irradiation. Underway measurements are continuous and time- and location-stamped every 10 seconds. All data is available online in near real-time at www.oceannetworks.ca.
The purpose of the working group is to provide a forum for: 1) regular updates on maintenance and sensor status for each of the instrumented ferries; 2) reports on any aspect of collected data; and 3) the discussion of new or ongoing issues, new project ideas, potential publications and the addition of new instrumentation.
