eXpendable Conductivity Temperature Depth (XCTD) profiles of temperature and salinity from Sermilik Fjord during July 2015

Five temperature and salinity profiles from Sermilik Fjord in Southeast Greenland. The profiles were collected using Sippican XCTD-1 eXpendable Conductivity Temperature Depth (XCTD) probes hand deployed from a helicopter. The profiles were collected on July 27 2015 in the ice mélange region of the Helheim Glacier/Sermilik Fjord system. The profiles were manually examined, quality controlled, and are provided as 2-meter (m) depth bin averaged profiles. The collection of these XCTD profiles was done concurrently with a shipboard survey of Sermilik Fjord from August 2 to August 13 2015. The shipboard Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) data are provided separately. These data were collected as part of a long-term project to monitor Sermilik Fjord to determine what water masses flow into and out of the fjord; in particular, if warm, Atlantic water from the Irminger Sea penetrates into the fjord and how freshwater from ice melt is diluted and transported out of the fjord. Observations have been collected in the fjord since 2008.

格陵兰东南部瑟米利克峡湾（Sermilik Fjord）的5组温度与盐度剖面数据。该批剖面由Sippican XCTD-1型抛弃式温盐深（eXpendable Conductivity Temperature Depth, XCTD）探头采集，采集方式为从直升机上人工投放。这些剖面于2015年7月27日采集自赫尔海姆冰川（Helheim Glacier）/瑟米利克峡湾系统的冰混杂带。所有剖面均经过人工核查与质量控制，最终以2米深度分层平均的形式提供。本次XCTD剖面的采集工作与2015年8月2日至13日开展的瑟米利克峡湾船载调查同步进行。配套的船载温盐深（Conductivity Temperature Depth, CTD）数据将单独提供。本数据集为瑟米利克峡湾长期监测项目的一部分，该项目旨在探究流入与流出峡湾的水团特征，具体包括源自伊尔明格海的暖性大西洋水是否会侵入峡湾，以及冰融淡水如何被稀释并输送出峡湾。该峡湾的观测工作自2008年起持续开展。
