Progress Code: completed Purpose Spatial mapping of land-fast sea ice physical and biological properties using an instrumented Remotely Operated Vehicle. Data were collected during deployments of an instrumented Remotely Operated Vehicle on 5 sampling days to determine sea ice physical properties and measure transmitted under-ice radiance spectra (combined with surface irradiance measurements) to estimate the spatial distribution and temporal development of ice algal biomass in land-fast sea ice. The ROV was instrumented with a navigation/positioning system (linked to surface GPS), upward-looking sonar and accurate depth sensor (Valeport 500 (to determine sea-ice draft)), and a upward-looking TriOS Ramses radiance sensor as well as several video-cameras collecting under-ice footage. Parallel measurements included surface irradiance measurements. A readme file in the download explains the folder structure of the dataset.
