Description
Summary: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. (JGR, 2018) Glacier calving rates due to subglacial discharge, fjord circulation, and free convection (doi:10.1029/2017JF004520).
