Temperature, Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, and Turbidity profiles from Sermilik Fjord, East Greenland collected over July 7-15, 2017

Thirty-one temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity profiles from Sermilik Fjord in East Greenland, close to the town of Tasiilaq. The profiles were collected with a Seabird 25plus conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) (#0251108) and an RBR CTD (#65584) during July 2017 from the researc...

Description
Summary:Thirty-one temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity profiles from Sermilik Fjord in East Greenland, close to the town of Tasiilaq. The profiles were collected with a Seabird 25plus conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) (#0251108) and an RBR CTD (#65584) during July 2017 from the research vessel Adolf Jensen. The profiles were processed using standard Seabird processing routines and are provided as 1-meter (m) bin averages. The majority of the profiles comprise an along-fjord section; a handful of profiles were collected on the continental shelf. These data 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.
