The objectives of water sampling for the water masses, circulation, and carbon cycling program (WMCCP) within the larger SIMEP project were to:

Use chemical characteristics (δ18O, alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC)) of the water column to identify water masses and their sources (eg., Hudson Strait and Labrador Sea, Foxe Basin, and Arctic Ocean), allowing for a better understanding of biological productivity.
Understand the fundamental processes creating and driving circulation of these water masses in Northwest Hudson Bay and use this information to infer larger scale circulation in the Hudson Bay complex.
Use newly collected summer (SIMEP 2018, 2019) data of DIC, DOC, and CDOM along with recently collected winter (POLAR 2018, 2019) and spring (BaySys 2018) data to better understand and quantify seasonal carbon cycling within the region.
