Description
Summary:Fifty-two temperature, salinity, and turbidity profiles from Sermilik Fjord in Southeast Greenland. The profiles were collected with an RBR conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) (#18859) during August 2009 from the Arctic Sunrise. The profiles were manually examined and are provided as 1-meter (m) bin averages. The survey was comprised of five cross-fjord sections collected at various locations along the fjord and a section spanning the mouth of the fjord. 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.
