Show Abstract
Hydrographic and current time series data from outside the northern side of the Isfjorden Mouth during 5 October 2017 to 24 August 2018 at 78°10.911’ N; 013°23.350’ E, and 242 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 outflow from Isfjorden and the hydrographic differences between the northern and southern part of the mouth. It was equipped with two Aanderaa Instruments recoding current meters (RCMs) with auxiliary CTD sensors covering the upper and the bottom layer. Additionally, three SBE 37 MicroCAT CTDs and three VEMCO mini temperature loggers were evenly distributed over the water column. For further details of the mooring and data, see Skogseth et al. (2020).

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 keep the water column stable. No pressure and conductivity data on SBE 37 10963, and no pressure data on AADI Seaguard 1705.
