Oceanographic surveys in the Kongsfjorden, Spitsbergen: Observations of the water structure in 1991-1993
Oceanographic surveys were carried out five times in the Kongsfjorden, Spitsbergen during 1991-1993. This report describes an outline of in situ observations of the water structure, temperature and salinity profiles, in the fjord. Based on the preliminary results, it is suggested that the surface la...
