Abstract
As a part of the Nansen Legacy project, physical oceanography data were collected during the cruise, GOS2020113 (6-27 October 2020). The goal was to conduct ocean mixing and water transformation process studies in the Barents Sea Polar Front region east of Svalbard, in the northern Barents Sea. The study region covered 24-35°E and 75-79°N. This data set is a compilation of data from the shipboard conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) system, the lowered-ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) system and the ship’s hull-mounted ADCP, provided as three separate NetCDF files: GOS2020113_CTD.nc: 64 profiles of salinity, temperature, density, dissolved oxygen, and fluorescence using ship’s CTD system. GOS2020113_LADCP.nc : 63 profiles of horizontal currents from the lowered-ADCP (LADCP) system attached on the CTD rosette GOS2020113_SADCP.nc : 13639 profiles of 2-minute time-averaged horizontal current profiles from the 75kHz hull-mounted ADCP (SADCP) Additionally, the ocean microstructure profiles are available from Fer et al (2023, https://doi.org/10.21335/NMDC-239170563). Details on the instruments, sampling, data processing, an overview of the data, and a detailed list of stations are provided in the cruise report (Fer et al. 2020, https://doi.org/10.7557/nlrs.5798) As a part of the Nansen Legacy project, physical oceanography data were collected during the cruise, GOS2020113 (6-27 October 2020).
