Abstract:
Hydrographic and current time series data from outside the southern side of the Isfjorden Mouth during 16 September 2005 to 15 September 2006 at 78°03.650’ N; 013°31.369’ E, and 210 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 two Aanderaa Instruments recoding current meters (RCMs) and one water level recoder (WLR) with auxiliary CTD sensors covering the upper, the intermediate, and the bottom layer. For further details of the mooring and data, see Skogseth et al. (2020).

Quality
No salinity data. Pressure and temperature data have been despiked with a window size of 60 and a standard deviation of 2. Temperature data have been calibrated against nearby SBE 911+ CTD profiles taken during the deployment period. Times rounded to nearest hour or 10 min.
