Abstract
Post-processed vessel mounted 150kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profile (VM-ADCP) data, collected during 7 individual surveys in the Barents Sea and Arctic Ocean, conducted as part of the Nansen Legacy project. The VM-ADCP data were processed with the CODAS processing software package (Hummon, 2016), using 5 min temporal bins and 5 m depth bins Key variables are Velocity East, Velocity North and Velocity Up. The dates and locations of each individual cruise are as follows: Joint cruise 1-2/2018707; 2018-08-06 to 2018-08-23; Northwestern Barents Sea, Nansen Basin. Q3-2019706; 2019-08-05 to 2019-08-27; Northwestern Barents Sea, Nansen Basin. Q3-2019711; 2019-11-28 to 2019-12-17; Northwestern Barents Sea. Q1-2021703; 2021-04-02-2021-04-24; Northwestern Barents Sea. Q2-2021704, 2021-04-27 to 2021-05-20; Northwestern Barents Sea. Joint cruise 2-1-2021708; 2018-08-06 to 2018-08-23; Northwestern Barents Sea. Joint cruise 2-2-2021710; 2021-08-21 to 2021-09-21; Northwestern Barents Sea, Nansen Basin, Gakkel Ridge, Amundsen Basin.
