Show Abstract
As part of the KROP - Kongsfjorden Rijpfjorden Observatory Programme UiT The Arctic University of Norway and The Scottish Association for Marine Science maintain a marine obervatory in the high-Arctic location Rijpfjorden, Svalbard, since 2006. The observatory consists of an array of CTDs, temperature loggers, ADCPs and a sediment trap, in addition to various other instruments or installations that change from year to year. This dataset cotains the temperature and salinity data of the Seabird SBE56 temperature logger that was located at 50m depth in the deployment year 2018-2020. The mooring was deployed for 2 years due to heavy ice cover on Rijpfjorden in 2019 which made recovery impossible. It was equipped with 6 SBE37 to get a good picture of the water mass exchange throughout the water column. All sensor still logging after 2 years, the sediment trap only collected the 2018-19 samples.
