Abstract:
Hydrographic and current time series data from outside the southern side of the Isfjorden Mouth during 8 September 2011 to 3 September 2012 at 78°03.637’ N; 013°31.271’ E, and 205 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 three Aanderaa Instruments recoding current meters (RCMs) with auxiliary CTD sensors covering the upper, the intermediate, and the bottom layer. Additionally, three SBE 37 MicroCAT CTDs and five 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. 464 rounded to nearest 20 min, 1088 to the nearest 5 min, the rest within 1 min.
