Raw physical oceanography and current meter data from mooring 79N6-2 in the Greenland Sea, September 2018 - September 2021

DOI

Time-series data of physical oceanography and ocean current velocities were obtained from mooring 79N6-2 in the Greenland Sea close to the 79 North Glacier between September 2018 and September 2021. The mooring was deployed during RV Maria S. Merian expedition MSM76, and recovered during Danish coast guard patrol vessel HDMS Triton expedition TRITON2021. The attached archive contains raw data files of two Seabird SBE37 MicroCATs (nominal depths: 189m, 254m; sampling interval 20min), three SBE56 temperature logger (nominal depths: 154m, 219m, 254m; sampling interval 30s), one SBE16 SeaCAT (nominal depth: 115m; sampling interval 1h), and one RDI Quartermaster ADCP (nominal depth: 254m; sampling interval 1h). Auxiliary information such as sensor calibration sheets, protocols, mooring diagrams, and schedule files are also provided, if applicable.

The file 79N6-2.zip includes all available sensor raw data from mooring 79N6-2. The structure of the unzipped folders is mooring->sensor/sampler type->serial number->instrument files. All instruments were synced to UTC before deployment, and the offset after the recovery is supplied in the respective instrument folder, if available. The archive also contains the sensor calibration sheets/files and relevant sampler schedule files, if available. Mooring schematics and recovery protocols are also attached as pdfs in the root folder. Finally, water column profile data recorded by a small handheld CTD in the vicinity of the mooring during recovery are also provided for comparison and context. See the cruise reports for details.The authors are grateful to the captains, crews and technical/scientific staff of the expeditions MSM76 onboard RV Maria S. Merian and TRITON2021 onboard Danish coast guard patrol vessel HDMS Triton. Many individuals have contributed to the conception of the research, the preparation of the instruments, the deployment and recoveries, as well as to the retrieval of the data, which we greatly appreciate. We especially thank the Danish Joint Arctic Command for enabling us to join the HDMS Triton for the recovery campaign.
