Arctic Ocean 2016 is a polar research expedition in collaboration with Canada with the two icebreakers Oden and Louis S. St-Laurent. The icebreaker Oden will depart from Longyearbyen, Svalbard, 8 August to meet up with the Canadian icebreaker Louis S. St-Laurent and launch the expedition. For six weeks, the vessels will operate in the Arctic Ocean, mainly in the Amundsen Basin and in areas around the underwater mountain ranges Lomonosov Ridge and Alpha Ridge. The aim of the Canadian research programme is to collect data in support of Canada’s extended continental shelf submission to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, prepared in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The Swedish research is focused on environmental chemistry, marine geology and atmospheric research. On board Oden there will also be Danish and Norwegian researchers working with marine geology and ice management. This dataset contains meteorological, oceanographic and ship data collected during the Canadian-Swedish expedition Arctic Ocean 2016, which was an international research cruise using the icebreaker Oden. Data include: Meteorological variables: Air temperature, Humidity, Wind direction/speed, Atmospheric pressure, Cloud height/cloudiness, Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR). Oceanographic variables: Sea water temperature, Conductivity, Salinity and Sound velocity. Ship data: Position, Speed, Course, Water depth. Further metadata on the instrumentation and the individual variables can be found in the info file. Graphics and files describing the route can found in the package. Arctic Ocean 2016 var en forskningsexpedition som, i samarbete med Kanada, avgick sommaren 2016 med de båda isbrytarna Oden och Louis S. St-Laurent. Isbrytaren Oden avreser från Longyearbyen på Svalbard 8 augusti för att möta upp den kanadensiska isbrytaren Louis S. St-Laurent och inleda expeditionen. Fartygen kommer att arbeta i Arktiska oceanen, främst i Amundsenbassängen och områdena kring ...
