Temperature and heating-induced temperature differences were measured along a chain of thermistors. SIMBA 2019T69 (a.k.a. FMI6-02) is an autonomous instrument that was installed on drifting sea ice in the Arctic Ocean during the 1st leg of MOSAiC in October 2019. The thermistor chain was 5 m long and included 241 sensors with a regular spacing of 2cm. The resulting time series describes the evolution of temperature and temperature differences after two heating cycles of 30 and 120 s as a function of place, depth and time between 11 October 2019 and 30 September 2020 in sample intervals of 6 hours for temperature and 24 hours for temperature differences. In addition to temperature, geographic position, barometric pressure, air temperature measured 1m over the ice level, tilt and compass were measured. ...
