Hydrographic and current time series data from inside the southern side of the Isfjorden Mouth during 16 September 2005 to 15 September 2006 at 78°08.300’ N; 014°25.030’ E, and 220 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 of Atlantic Water to Isfjorden, and was equipped with two Aanderaa Instruments recoding current meters (RCMs) with auxiliary CTD sensors covering the intermediate and bottom layer. For further details of the mooring and data, see Skogseth et al. (2019).

SBE19+ salinity, temperature, and depth (CTD) profiles coincident with nitrate sensor and A-sphere profiles. Deployed from on-ice CTD tent.

The dataset includes data from an Argo float. The Argo float is mainly located in the deep water drifting with the currents there. With 5-10 day intervals, they rise from the depth to the surface while taken measurements during the ascent. The Argo float is equipped with sensors for measuring pressure, temperature, and salinity, and in some cases equipped with additional sensors for biogeochemical measurements. Data from the Argo float are sent, via satellites, to data centres, and are available to users within 24 hours.
