Abstract
Under the EU project "Developing Arctic Modelling and Observing Capabilities for Long-term Environment Studies - DAMOCLES", the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen collected ocean current profiles using an acoustic Doppler current profiler installed in a bottom frame, located at the 115-m sill separating Storfjorden in Svalbard Archipelago and Storfjordrenna north of Storfjordbanken on the Barents Sea shelf. Storfjorden, through its polynya activity, produces highly saline water near the freezing temperature which fills the fjord to the sill level and initiates a gravity driven overflow. The instrument was turned over annually, and observations are available between September 2003 and May 2007. Four data files are supplied, one for each year. Details on the data processing and instrumentation are provided in the attached reports. Three reports are supplied. Data from 2004 was reported in Fer [2006] including processing details, data quality and velocity observations. In Fer [2007], the first 3 years (2004, 2005 and 2006) are reported together, including an interannual comparison. The observations from 2007 are reported in Daae and Fer [2008].
