Oceanographic vertical microstructure profiler (VMP) data from expedition ARTofMELT, Arctic Ocean, 2023 — subset with CTD data
Lina Aleke Holthusen, Noemie Planat, Magnus Asmussen, Julia Muchowski
Conductivity, temperature, depth, turbidity and fluorescence data collected from a free-falling microstructure profiler during the ARTofMELT 2023 Expedition in the Fram Strait.
The data are a subset of the collected raw data and do not include high-resolution temperature and shear microstructure data.
Vertical profiles of the water column properties from a total of 23 deployments averaged over 1 to 4 casts each. The Rockland Scientific Vertical Microstructure Profiler (VMP) was deployed from holes in the sea ice or over the edge of a floe of sea ice into a lead of open water.

Data description
The data are provided in 23 csv files. Total size ~63 MB.
Each file is named after the date and start time of the data collection in the form yyyy-mm-dd_hhmmssss (where ssss stands for seconds given with two decimals) and contains the mean of all (1-4) casts taken on this station.
Included parameters are:
DateTimeLatitudeLongitudePressure(dbar)ConservativeTemperature(degree Celsius)AbsoluteSalinity(g/kg)Chlorophyll(μg/l)Turbidity(FTU)Temperature(in situ, degree Celsius)Salinity(in situ, psu)
Microstructure data from shear probes and thermistors are not included in this dataset but can be derived from the raw dataset linked below.
Comments
Associated raw data
The raw data, from which this dataset is derived, was created by Muchowski et al. (2025a) and is available separately.
Related CTD data
CTD data collected with a Sea-Bird SBE 911plus CTD are available both as raw (Muchowski et al. (2025b) and processed (Muchowski et al. (2025c) data.
The expedition
Data were collected during the ARTofMELT 2023 expedition on board the Swedish icebreaker Oden, which was organized by the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat from 8 May through 14 June, 2023.
