Svalbard Fjord Conductivity, Temperature, Depth Data, 2001-2004
This data set includes vertical ocean profiles of temperature,
salinity and backscatter beneath ice cover in Svalbard Fjord,
Norway. The data were collected by a Seabird Conductivity-
Temperature-Depth (CTD) system mounted on a remotely operated
vehicle (ROV) on three trips: the north side of Van Mijenfjorden
in March 2001; the south of Van Mijenfjorden in March 2004; the
south of Van Mijenfjorden in June 2004. To address the
differences between theory and observation regarding the rate of
ice formation, supercooling in the ocean boundary layer, and the
effective diffusivities of heat and salt, the small-scale
physics of sea ice formation were studied. This data set is
