Description
Summary:As part of the Overturning in the Nordic Seas project, physical oceanography data were collected during the cruise KB2018614 on R/V Kristine Bonnevie in June 2018. The goal was to to study ocean currents and water transformation processes in the Iceland Sea in the western Nordic Seas. This data set is a compilation of data from the shipboard conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) system, the lowered-ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) LADCP system and the ship’s hull-mounted ADCP (SADCP), provided as three separate NetCDF files: KB2018614_CTD.nc: 190 profiles of salinity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen using ship’s CTD system. The salinity profiles were calibrated using in-situ water samples. KB2018614_LADCP.nc : 136 profiles of horizontal currents from the lowered-ADCP (LADCP) system attached on the CTD rosette. KB2018614_SADCP.nc: 18.7 days of 3-minute time-averaged horizontal current profiles from the 150 kHz hull-mounted RDI Ocean Surveyor ADCP (SADCP). ...
