Antigonish County Current Data

Current speed and direction time series data collected in a vertical profile at various locations throughout the coastal waters of Antigonish County.

Querying over HTTP

Splitgraph serves as an HTTP API that lets you run SQL queries directly on this data to power Web applications. For example:

curl https://data.splitgraph.com/sql/query/ddn \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d@-<<EOF
{"sql": "
    SELECT *
    FROM \"novascotia-ca/antigonish-county-current-data-mizr-h958\".\"antigonish_county_current_data\"
    LIMIT 100 
"}
EOF

See the Splitgraph documentation for more information.

Upstream Metadata
Detailed MetadataLanguageengFrequencyAs neededDepartmentFisheries and AquacultureTime Period Coverage2022Usage ConsiderationsThe Centre for Marine Applied Research (CMAR) coordinates an extensive Coastal Monitoring Program to measure essential ocean variables (EOVs) throughout Nova Scotia’s coastal waters. This dataset includes data from the Current branch of the program. Data from the Water Quality and Wave branches of the program are also available on the Nova Scotia Open Data Portal. CMAR has worked with the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture (NSDFA) and marine service providers to measure ocean current at various locations in Nova Scotia since 2007. The data is collected with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) deployed on the seafloor. An ADCP is a hydroacoustic current meter that measures water velocities over a range of depths. These sensors measure soundwaves scattered back from moving particles in the water column and use the Doppler effect to estimate speed and direction. Current data is organized by county. Each county dataset includes data from multiple ADCP deployments that vary in instrument make, model, configuration, capability, and installation location. These characteristics should be taken into consideration when analyzing the data. The “Nova Scotia Current Data: Deployment Information” dataset (https://data.novascotia.ca/d/rs2e-ekha) summarises the specifications of each deployment. Individual deployments are identified in the county dataset and metadata by a unique ID in the deployment_id column. The county datasets are large and can exceed the number of rows that can be viewed in Excel. CMAR recommends using the filter options of the Open Data Portal to filter to the waterbody, station, and/or deployment_id of interest before exporting. A chart derived from the dataset also allows for interactive filtering and export (https://data.novascotia.ca/Nature-and-Environment/Antigonish-County-Daily-Average-Current-Speed-by-D/dxk4-auk4). Current data for other Nova Scotia counties is also available through the Open Data Portal. The "Nova Scotia Current Data: Deployment Information" dataset on the PoGeographic Region NameNova Scotia
