Show Abstract
Hydrographic and current time series data from inside of the entrance of Isfjorden at the southern side during 08 Sep 2019 to 08 Jun 2020 at 78°07.516’ N; 014°25.163’ E, and 160 m depth. The mooring was deployed by the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) as a part of the AGF course “Polar Ocean Climate” to monitor inflow from the Isfjorden Mouth to Isfjorden proper and the hydrographic differences between outside and inside of the mouth area. It was equipped with two Aanderaa Instruments recording current meters (RCMs) with auxiliary CTD sensors covering the upper and the bottom layer. Additionally, three SBE 37 MicroCAT CTDs and one VEMCO mini temperature logger were evenly distributed over the water column.
Quality
Pressure, temperature and salinity data have been despiked with a window size of 60 and a standard deviation of 2. Temperature and salinity data have been calibrated against nearby SBE 911+ CTD profiles taken during the deployment period. At the same time, care was taken to maintain a stable water column.
