  • Data from: Pelagic Ecosystem Characteristics Across the Atlantic Water Boundary Current From Rijpfjorden, Svalbard, to the Arctic Ocean During Summer (2010–2014) The dataset contains six sub-datasets: CTD, Biogeochemistry, Carbonate, Phytoplankton abundance, Phytoplankton biomass, Zooplankton abundance. The datasets are published in Hop et al. 2019 “Pelagic Ecosystem Characteristics across the Atlantic Water Boundary Current from Rijpfjorden, Svalbard, to the Arctic Ocean During Summer (2010-2014)”.

  • Data set on colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) absorption and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the Fram Strait (~78°50’ N), collected during the annual Norwegian Polar Institute's research and monitoring cruises to the Fram Strait Arctic Outflow Observatory. CDOM data has been collected annually since 2009 in August September, and DOC during a number of years.

  • We performed measurements of carbon dioxide fugacity (fCO2) in the surface water under 8 Arctic sea ice from January to June 2015 during the Norwegian young sea ICE (N-ICE2015) expedition. Over 9 this period, the ship drifted with four different ice floes and covered the deep Nansen Basin, the slopes 10 north of Svalbard, and the Yermak Plateau. This unique winter-to-spring data set includes the first 11 winter-time under-ice water fCO2 observations in this region. The observed under-ice fCO2 ranged between 12 315 matm in winter and 153 matm in spring, hence was undersaturated relative to the atmospheric fCO2. 13 Although the sea ice partly prevented direct CO2 exchange between ocean and atmosphere, frequently 14 occurring leads and breakup of the ice sheet promoted sea-air CO2 fluxes. The CO2 sink varied between 0.3 15 and 86 mmol C m22 d21, depending strongly on the open-water fractions (OW) and storm events. The 16 maximum sea-air CO2 fluxes occurred during storm events in February and June. In winter, the main drivers 17 of the change in under-ice water fCO2 were dissolution of CaCO3 (ikaite) and vertical mixing. In June, in 18 addition to these processes, primary production and sea-air CO2 fluxes were important. The cumulative loss 19 due to CaCO3 dissolution of 0.7 mol C m22 in the upper 10 m played a major role in sustaining the 20 undersaturation of fCO2 during the entire study. The relative effects of the total fCO2 change due to CaCO3 21 dissolution was 38%, primary production 26%, vertical mixing 16%, sea-air CO2 fluxes 16%, and temperature 22 and salinity insignificant.
