Multibeam bathymetry and CTD measurements in two fjord systems in southeastern Greenland
We present bathymetry and hydrological observations collected in the summer of 2014 from two fjord systems in southeastern Greenland with a multibeam sonar system. Our results provide a detailed bathymetric map of the fjord complex around the island of Skjoldungen in Skjoldungen Fjord and the outer...

We present bathymetry and hydrological observations collected in the summer of 2014 from two fjord systems in southeastern Greenland with a multibeam sonar system.

The hydrography collected shows different properties in the fjords with the bottom water masses below 240m in Timmiarmiut Fjord being 1-2 degrees C warmer than in the two fjords around Skjoldungen, but data also illustrate the influence of sills on the exchange of deeper water masses within fjords.
