[{"name":"kirchner-2019-svalbard-1","title":"Glacier-proximal water temperatures in Kongsfjorden and Tempelfjorden, Svalbard, 2016-2017","summary":"Subsurface ocean temperatures have been harvested in Kongsfjorden and Tempelfjorden, Svalbard, in close proximity to the calving ice fronts of the glaciers Kronebreen, terminating in Kongsfjorden, and Tunabreen, terminating in Tempelfjorden. Measurement were made using long term underwater sensing bottom landers (LoTUS buoys). Data were sampled at 10 minute intervals at a water depth of 67 m in Kongsfjorden and 54 m in Tempelfjorden, corresponding to 15 m and 35 m above the seafloor. Data were collected for 376 days in Kongsfjorden and 232 days in Tempelfjorden.","citations":"Holmes, F.A., Kirchner, N., Kuttenkeuler, J., Kr\u00fctzfeldt, J., Noormets, R.

As LoTUS buoys can be deployed instantaneously at any given location, and from any given platform (at sea or in the air), they are ideally suited to be moored in close proximity to calving glacier fronts.","category":"Marine","subcategory":"Temperature","keywords":"Subsurface ocean temperature; Kongsfjorden; Tempelfjorden; LoTUS; Glacier-proximal; Timeseries","scientist":"Nina Kirchner, Riko Noormets, Jakob Kuttenkeuler, Jari Kr\u00fctzfeldt, Felicity Holmes","firstname":"Nina","lastname":"Kirchner","address":"Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University","postalcode":"SE-10691","city":"Stockholm","province":"","country":"Sweden","parameters":"Earth science > Oceans > Ocean temperature > Water temperature","location":"Ocean > Arctic Ocean > Barents Sea","progress":"Completed","language":"English","project":"The work was partly funded by the Swedish Research Council FORMAS through grants 214-2013-1600 and 2017-00665 awarded to Nina Kirchner.","publisher":"Bolin Centre Database","version":"1","constrains":"None, but please cite Holmes et al.
