Profiles of temperature and salinity from Sermilik Fjord during March 2010

Five temperature and salinity profiles and two temperature profiles from Sermilik Fjord in Southeast Greenland. The profiles were collected with Sippican XCTD-1 and XBT T-5 probes during March 2010. The profiles were manually examined and are provided as 1-meter (m) bin averages. These data are some...

Description
Summary:Five temperature and salinity profiles and two temperature profiles from Sermilik Fjord in Southeast Greenland. The profiles were collected with Sippican XCTD-1 and XBT T-5 probes during March 2010. The profiles were manually examined and are provided as 1-meter (m) bin averages. These data are some of the only wintertime profile observations from Sermilik Fjord. They were collected as part of a long-term project to monitor Sermilik Fjord to determine what water masses flow into the fjord; in particular, if warm, Atlantic water from the Irminger Sea is able to penetrate into the fjord. Observations have been collected in the fjord since 2008.
