Hydrographic data from Northern Norwegian fjords - 1993

The periodic collection of hydrophysical data along the northern Norwegian coast (from Malangen to Porsangerfjord) started in the beginning of the 20th century and some of the oldest stations are still in operation by the “Havmiljødata” sampling programme organized by UIT-The Arctic university of Norway. Systematical retrieval of the physical oceanographical data during shorter periods (1–2 years) in Tromsø and north Norway goes back to ca. 1872 when Tromsø Museum was founded. The first decades sampling was performed with hired vessels, and retrieval of hydrophysical data was connected to sampling of marine organisms. From ca. 1975 it was taken over by the University of Tromsø and from 1979 it was up running again with a new revised network. Up through the years much effort has also been put into data quality control and instrumentation (CTD) mantenance and calibration. From the early 1990s, the BFE faculty (Fakultet for biovitenskap, fiskeri og økonomi) that has had the responsibility for the data sampling organized as Havmiljødata (HMD).

自20世纪初起，对挪威北部海岸（从马拉根至波尔桑斯 fjord）的周期性水文物理数据采集工作便已开始，其中一些最古老的观测站至今仍由挪威北极大学（UIT）组织的“Havmiljødata”采样项目所运营。关于在特罗姆瑟及挪威北部较短周期（1-2年）内的物理海洋学数据的系统性检索可追溯至大约1872年，当时特罗姆瑟博物馆成立。最初的几十年，采样工作由租赁船只完成，水文物理数据的收集与海洋生物的采样相联系。自大约1975年起，该工作转由特罗姆瑟大学接管，并于1979年再次启动，并伴随着一个新的修订网络的建立。历经数年，数据质量控制以及仪器（CTD）的维护和校准也投入了大量的努力。自20世纪90年代初起，负责组织Havmiljødata（HMD）数据采集的BFE学院（Fakultet for biovitenskap, fiskeri og økonomi）承担了这一责任。
