Description
Summary:During Polarstern expedition PS131 (ATWAICE: ATlantic WAter pathways to the ICE), a large number of autonomous instruments were installed on three representative ice floes across the marginal ice zone northwest of Svalbard in July 2022. The aim was to investigate sea ice summer melt processes, with a focus on the contribution of the Atlantic water inflow into the region. The attached .zip file includes raw data files obtained from all instruments deployed on the northernmost floe, also referred to as Floe North. Depending on the instrument, the data were transmitted via satellite, collected on internal memory, or both. The instruments were installed on Floe North on 13 July 2022, revisited for maintenance on 20 July 2022, and partially recovered on 30 July 2022. The sensors included 3 ADCPs in different configurations to measure ocean currents, a CTD buoy (SIT) with 6 SBE37IMP and an ECO Triplet fluorometer, a HOBO under-ice conductivity chain, 3 ice mass balance buoys (IMBs) of different types to determine ... : We are grateful to the captain, crew, and scientific staff of Polarstern expedition PS131 for their great field support. We thank the International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP) for the financial support with the buoy data costs.The deployment event of the instruments is PS131_47-1, the revisit event is PS131_67-1, and the recovery event is PS131_89-1. ...
