This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and velocity taken by CTD and ADCP during 2012-07-16 to 2012-07-25 in Sarqardleq Fjord, Greenland. These data address the interaction of the ocean with tidewater glaciers around the margins of the Greenland Ice Sheet is thought to be a key control on ice sheet stability. Thus, understanding the processes which drive melting of the calving fronts of tidewater glaciers by the ocean is fundamental to projections of future global mean sea level rise. Our understanding is however currently limited, partly due to the scarcity of oceanographic data from close to the calving fronts of tidewater glaciers. The primary goal of these measurements was to quantify the ocean conditions adjacent to a west Greenland tidewater glacier. In particular, knowledge of the water temperature and water velocity is highly valuable as these are understood to be the two primary variables determining the rate at which the ocean melts the calving front of the glacier. These temperature, salinity, and velocity data were collected near a tidewater glacier in Sarqardleq Fjord, West Greenland during July 2012. Data are in NetCDF.

This data set contains temperature, salinity, and pressure observations from seven subsurface moorings placed in the Uummannaq Bay, west Greenland. The purpose was to quantify heat transport and water mass variability near the tidewater glaciers in this area. Some of the sensors were damaged by iceberg strikes, and fell towards the bottom (they were on a weak link). This dataset also contains water-column profiles of salinity and temperature collected using a conductivity/temperature/depth (CTD) sensor and water-column velocity data collected using a vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) collected only in 2014. CTD data were collected throughout the fjords of Uummannaq Bay from the R/V Sanna (Greenland Institute of Natural Resources vessel) using an RBR profiling CTD throughout the project period. ADCP data were collected using an RDI 300 kHz ADCP during during certain CTD transects only from the R/V Sanna during summer 2014. The ADCP was pole-mounted off the side of the vessel with an integrated Hemisphere GPS receiver. Data were subsampled to 15-minute intervals. The data file format is NetCDF.

This data set is a hydrographic survey collected by CTD and ADCP throughout West Antarctica, but largely in the Bellingshausen and Amundsen Seas, during the research cruise NBP19-01 on the research vessel Nathaniel B. Palmer. Each of the 78 stations provide full-depth profiles of temperature, salinity, oxygen, fluorescence and PAR. Velocity profiles were also collected from a Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (LADCP). The temperature, salinity and velocity measurements have been calibrated and quality controlled (see link to cruise report below). All other properties have not been calibrated at this time. This data set also contains glider data obtained during the second part of the project. Please contact the PI, Andrew Thompson for further information. Data are in NetCDF. See list of related publications and cruise report under the Documentation.

This dataset contains measurements conducted as part of meteorological and hydrographic surveys including marine biogeochemical samplings in the northern Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean on board the R/V Mirai, cruise MR16-06, from 22 August to 5 October 2016 under the Arctic Challenge for Sustainability (ArCS) Project. This dataset is U.S. State Department MSR U2016-011 as part of the World Data Service for Oceanography and Geophysics. Cruise data are available from the JAMSTEC DARWIN portal (see the Documentation).

This dataset contains data from 84 high resolution CTD stations, collected 26 Dec 1999 to 8 Feb 2000 by R/V Nathaniel B Palmer. These data support the Antarctic Pack Ice Seals (APIS) project, funded by the US National Science Foundation grant #OPP9816086. Data were acquired using a SeaBird 911plus CTD and processed by the data originator with SeaBird data processing software. File format information, contact information for the Principal Investigators, and other important metadata are available in the file data/1-data/Readme.

This dataset contains water salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pressure recorded by CTDs from a mooring in the Amundsen Sea, Antarctica, during 2016-01-28 to 2016-01-18. This dataset is a contribution to the Southern Ocean Observing System. Data are in ASCII (cnv) format.

Dataset contains continuous underway measurements of ship’s position, sea surface temperature, salinity, turbidity, fluorescence, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, chlorophyll, plus wind speed and direction. These data are part of a long term ecosystem project centered on the South Shetland Islands of the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica. The datasets incorporated into this archive have been collected by researchers affiliated with the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) Program under the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS); funding for this project was from the NMFS AMLR Program. Actual data collected any given year varies, dependent on funding availability for resources, staging and sea days.

The data included in this dataset were collected in East Greenland in the Sermilik Fjord, located in the Ammassalik district close to the town of Tasiilaq, and at the Kangerlussuaq Glacier. Data collection was conducted by deploying eleven moorings from August 2009 to August 2010. One mooring was not recovered until September 2012 and three moorings were never recovered. The recovered moorings located in the Sermilik Fjord were named CM1, CM3, CM5, CM6, and SM3. The recovered moorings located at Kangerlussuaq Glacier were GP1, GP2, and GP3. The moorings were equipped with SBE MicroCATs, Onset UTBI-001 TidbiTs, Nortek Aquadopps, RBR DR-1050s, and RBR XR-420s.

Temperature profile, nutrients, and other data were collected using plankton net, bottle, and CTD casts from the POLARSTERN in the Southern Oceans. Data were collected from 02 October 1992 to 25 November 1992. Data were collected and submitted by Netherlands Institute for Sea Research with support from the US JGOFS Antarctic Environments Southern Ocean Process Study (JGOFS/AESOPS) project.

This dataset includes ocean pressure, temperature, and salinity data from 68 (CTD) profiles acquired in the Prydz Bay region. These austral summer observations were taken across the shelf to the continental slope, to depths up to 3650m, and along the ice-shelf from the Chinese icebreaker R/V Xue Long. Data file format is plain text.
