Show Abstract
Hydrographic and current time series data from inner Tempelfjorden during 29 January 2016 to 23 June 2017 at 78°26.606’ N; 017°21.269’ E, and 52 m depth. The mooring was deployed by the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) in collaboration with the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) as part of the project CRIOS to monitor any influence of water temperature on the tidewater glacier Tunabreen. It was equipped with one Aanderaa Instruments SeaGuard recoding current meter (RCM) with auxiliary CTD sensors close to the bottom. Additionally, three SBE 37 MicroCAT CTDs were distributed within 10 m above the RCM. 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+ and SBE 19plus V2 CTD profiles taken during the deployment period. At the same time, care was taken to keep the water column stable. The conductivity sensors were highly affected by the sediment-rich water from the glacier and hence only the salinity data from SBE37 sn 7768 and 7769 that can be used. Have added 1 minutes and 56 seconds to the date vectors of SBE 37 sn 7768, 7769 and 8479.
