Water temperature, salinity, and currents collected from subsurface moorings deployed by the research vessel Sanna and taken by CTD and ADCP along the ship track in the Uummannaq Bay, west Greenland, from 2013-09-12 to 2015-07-22 (NCEI Accession 0173969)
This data set contains temperature, salinity, and pressure observations from seven subsurface moorings placed in the Uummannaq Bay, west Greenland. The purpose was to quantify heat transport and water mass variability near the tidewater glaciers in this area. Some of the sensors were damaged by iceberg strikes, and fell towards the bottom (they were on a weak link). This dataset also contains water-column profiles of salinity and temperature collected using a conductivity/temperature/depth (CTD) sensor and water-column velocity data collected using a vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) collected only in 2014. CTD data were collected throughout the fjords of Uummannaq Bay from the R/V Sanna (Greenland Institute of Natural Resources vessel) using an RBR profiling CTD throughout the project period. ADCP data were collected using an RDI 300 kHz ADCP during during certain CTD transects only from the R/V Sanna during summer 2014. The ADCP was pole-mounted off the side of the vessel with an integrated Hemisphere GPS receiver. Data were subsampled to 15-minute intervals. The data file format is NetCDF.
