Temperature, salinity, light and fluorescence (CTD) measurements from the Kongsfjorden (Svalbard) marine observatory (mooring) August 2007-August 2008

As part of the "KROP - Kongsfjorden Rijpfjorden Observatory Programme" UiT The Arctic University of Norway and The Scottish Association for Marine Science maintain marine observatories (moorings) in two high-Arctic fjords in Svalbard: Kongsfjorden and Rijpfjorden. The observatories consists of an array of CTDs, temperature loggers, ADCPs and a sediment trap, in addition to various other instruments or installations that change from year to year.
This dataset contains the CTD, PAR and fluorescence data from Kongsfjorden 2007-2008.
Fluorescence data is given as raw voltage only, due to calibration and fouling issues. It is meant as an indication of the timing of the phytoplankton bloom, not as absolute chlorophyll a concentration.
No post-recovery processing of light data (to correct for fouling) has been performed.
First deployment on southern side of Kongsfjorden, which is the permanent side for all future moorings. Only one upward facing ADCP. S4 current meter did not record any data. Sediment trap failed due to sediment stuck in the funnel.
