Water Temperature, conductivity, and currents data collected by CTDs and current meters on moored buoys in the Sermilik Fjord, Greenland from 2012-09-18 to 2013-08-20 (NCEI Accession 0127325)
Preview graphic
The data included in this dataset were collected in the Sermilik Fjord, located in East Greenland in the Ammassalik district close to the town of Tasiilaq. Data collection was conducted by deploying five moorings from September 2012 to August 2013. One mooring was not recovered. The four recovered moorings were named CM0, CM1, CM5, and SF4. Mooring CM0 was located mid-fjord at a depth of 125 meters and was equipped with an SBE MicroCAT, an RBR DR-1050, and an Onset U-22 ProV2. Mooring CM1 was located next to CM0 at a depth of 125 meters. It was equipped with an SBE MicroCAT, an RBR DR-1050, and an Onset UTBI-001 TidbiT. Mooring CM5 was located outside of the fjord entrance at a depth of 290 meters. It was equipped with an SBE MicroCAT and a Nortek Aquadopp. Mooring SF4 was positioned in the middle of the fjord at a depth of 880 meters. Data collected from this mooring included two RBR XR-420s, ten Onset UTBI-001 Temperature Loggers, two SBE MicroCAT, an RBR DR-1050, a Nortek Aquadopp, and an RDI LR-ADCP.

| Purpose |
The overarching goal of this work is to understand the glacier/ocean interactions in Greenland's glacial fjord both to explain the recent and ongoing changes, and to improve our ability to make future predictions (of sea level rise in particular). |
