Labrador Sea 1997 optical measurements

Bio-optical validation observations were made on the CCGS Hudson in spring from 9 May to 11 June 1997 in the Labrador Sea. Stations were occupied along several sections between Labrador and Greenland with some locations revisited more than once during a cruise. The most heavily sampled SW-NE section from Hamilton Bank on the Labrador Shelf to Cape Desolation on the Greenland Shelf is the AR7 line of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment.
