| Summary: | The dataset described herein was collected as a part of the Nansen LEGACY project, funded by the Research Council of Norway (project number 276730). Nansen LEGACY (2018 – 2023) is a national collaborative project between ten Norwegian research institutions, with an aim to improve our understanding of a changing marine Arctic climate and ecosystem, and will provide an observation-based scientific knowledge needed for future sustainable resource management in the transitional Barents Sea and the adjacent Arctic Basin. Activities in the project include multiple interdisciplinary cruises, mainly with the ice-going research vessel Kronprins Haakon, and oceanographic moorings for process studies as well as monitoring in key locations. This report summarizes the details of moorings, instrument setups and processing, and gives an overview of the data collected. The data set cover the period from September 2018 to September/November 2019, and includes time series of ocean temperature, salinity and currents across the continental slope north of Svalbard. The data set is submitted to and openly available from the Norwegian Marin Data Centre [1]. Metadata and attributes for each submitted netCDF file (ncdisp output) are provided as an appendix. |
