Fram Strait gridded monthly mean velocity and salinity and time-series of freshwater transport, freshwater content, volume transport and salt transport since 2003. ...
These velocity and salinity data have been collected by moorings of the Fram Strait Arctic Outflow Observatory (FSAOO) at 78°50’N (F17 at 8°W, F14 at 6.5°W, F13b at 5.5°W, F13 at 5°W, F12 at 4°W, F11 at 3°W, F10 at 2°W) between Sept. 2003-Aug. 2019. The moorings have been maintained by the Norwegian...

| Summary: | These velocity and salinity data have been collected by moorings of the Fram Strait Arctic Outflow Observatory (FSAOO) at 78°50’N (F17 at 8°W, F14 at 6.5°W, F13b at 5.5°W, F13 at 5°W, F12 at 4°W, F11 at 3°W, F10 at 2°W) between Sept. 2003-Aug. 2019. The moorings have been maintained by the Norwegian Polar Institute (between 2003-2016, F10 was maintained by the Alfred Wegener Institute). The time-series of freshwater transport, freshwater content, volume transport and salt transport are calculated from the gridded salinity and velocity fields and are integrated over the full section as well as in the Polar Water (PW) (sigma<27.7 & T<0). Freshwater is calculated relative to a reference salinity of 34.9. ... |
