| Summary: | Sarqardleq Fjord is part of a tidewater glacier-fjord system in western Greenland. These observations of water pressure were collected as part of a field program to study the dynamics of the ice/ocean boundary layer of a medium-sized glacier. The glacier's margins are characterized by turbulent plumes fed by subglacial discharge, as well as broader, quiescent regions characterized by submarine melt. Ocean property and velocity data were collected to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of the near-ice dynamics. The water pressure observations are from a shallow mooring that was deployed from July 18, 2012 to July 18, 2012, and sampled at 1 second intervals. The mooring was primarily deployed to record the tidal cycle in the fjord.
