The data set of ocean temperature were collected at a mooring in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, Norway during 2016. The mooring supported ten temperature sensors and data were resampled to 10 m intervals between 30-200 m. There is a 12-day gap during this record (day 233-244) for instrument maintenance and data recovery. Additional details about the mooring itself can be found in Cottier et al., 2005. We also include a CTD cast close to the Kronebreen terminus, collected on 23 August 2016 from a boat. These data were used in Schild et al. (submitted to JGR in 2018) Calving rates due to subglacial discharge, fjord circulation, and free convection We installed a time lapse camera at ~325 masl on the north side of Kongsbreen, Svalbard, Norway. The camera collected imagery every 30 minutes from 30 April to 15 September 2016. More information on how the imagery were originally used can be found in Schild et al. (submitted to JGR in 2018). Sentinel imagery also used in this study are included in movie format.
