A detailed survey of a high Arctic fjord (Kongsfjorden, Svalbard),subjected to a large glacier discharge, was carried out from 24 July to 13 August 2016. Field activities addressed the identification of the effects of glacier and iceberg melting on the evolution of nutrient, dissolved organic matter and carbonate systems in this coastal marine environment. Complete CTD profiles were collected in 60 marine stations in the inner area of Kongsfjorden, during six oceanographic surveys, by means of CTD downcasts. CTD profiles were acquired with a Seabird 19plus SeaCATprofiler, equipped with a TURNER Cyclops turbidimeter.
