Time-series data of physical oceanography, ocean current velocities and hydroacoustics were obtained from mooring F4-19 in the Fram Strait in August 2019 - June 2021 as part of the Helmholtz infrastructure program Frontiers in Arctic Marine Monitoring (FRAM) and the long-term monitoring program at AWI HAUSGARTEN. The mooring was deployed during RV POLARSTERN expedition PS121, and recovered during PS126. The attached archive contains raw data files of 7 Seabird SBE37 microcats (nominal depths: 76m, 153m, 253m, 402m, 502m,731m, 1204m; sampling interval 1h), four Seabird SBE56 temperature loggers (nominal depths: 53m, 102m, 203m, 323m; sampling interval 30s), one upward-looking RDI Workhorse 300kHz ADCP (nominal depth: 53m; sampling interval 1h), one upward-looking RDI Workhorse Longranger ADCP (depth: 382m; sampling interval 1h) and two Nortek Aquadopp current meters (nominal depths: 730m, 1205m; sampling interval 20min). The 300 kHz ADCP stopped recording after 3 months due to a battery failure. The mooring ... : The file F4-19.zip includes all available sensor raw data from mooring F4-19. The structure of the unzipped folders is mooring->sensor/sampler type->serial number->instrument files. All instruments were synched to UTC before deployment, and the offset after the recovery is supplied in the respective instrument folder, if available. The archive also contains the sensor calibration sheets/files and relevant sampler schedule files, if available. Finally, mooring schematics are also attached as pdfs in the root folder.The authors are grateful to the captains, crews and technical/scientific staff of the expeditions PS121 and PS126 onboard RV POLARSTERN. Many individuals have contributed to the conception of the research, the preparation of the instruments, the deployment and recoveries, as well as to the retrieval of the data, which we greatly acknowledge. We acknowledge funding from the Helmholtz infrastructure program "Frontiers in Arctic Marine Monitoring", and the Alfred-Wegener-Institut ...
