Abstract:
Hydrographic and current time series data from outside the northern side of the Isfjorden Mouth during 15 October 2016 to 2 October 2017 at 78°10.927’ N; 013°23.000’ E, and 224 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 three Aanderaa Instruments recoding current meters (RCMs) with auxiliary CTD sensors covering the upper, the intermediate, and the bottom layer. Additionally, two SBE 37 MicroCAT CTDs 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 data on SBE 37 10963.
