GLICE embarked a team of scientists to study the effect of icebergs on pelagic processes in Disko Bay in August 2022, anticipated to be close to the peak of the annual melt season. A combination of underway measurements, profiles and opportunistic sampling around icebergs were used to increase understanding of how ice melt affects marine biogeochemistry. In addition to sensor-based salinity, temperature, chlorophyll and turbidity measurements, our team focused on carbonate chemistry (direct measurements of pCO2, pH and total alkalinity, TA), macronutrients (nitrate, phosphate, silicic acid – with a subset of samples analysed for silicic acid at sea) and acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data acquisition. Our sampling focused mainly on the upper 100 m where the strongest gradients in parameters that may respond directly to ice melt were expected and we mainly employed a statistical approach to dataset collection, focusing the majority of the cruise on sampling pre-defined transects in a grid across the Bay area intercepting areas with high and low ice/melt water distributions.
