Description | |
Summary | The data set covers vertical profiles of temperature, salinity and in some cases also nutrients and oxygen measured at the NAFO standard sections along the West Greenland coastline as well as on stations operated in connection with fisheries research in the same area. The data are quality controlled. The current meter data includes current speed and direction, temperature and salinity sampled hourly at 10 and 30 metres depth. The data are collected by Danish Meteorological Institute and are managed by the institution according to a contract with Greenland Institute for Natural Resources. |
