Temperature and Salinity observations from a shallow mooring in Sermilik Fjord from August 2015 to July 2017

Moored time series of temperature, salinity, and pressure from a shallow mooring deployed in Sermilik Fjord, East Greenland, from August 2015 to July 2017. The mooring was deployed in the mid-fjord region, at 65.9572 degrees North (N), 37.7274 degrees West (W) (water depth of approximately 50 meters (m)). Temperature, salinity, and pressure were observed by a Seabird Microcat. These data were collected as part of a long-term project to monitor Sermilik Fjord to determine what water masses flow into the fjord; in particular, if warm, Atlantic water from the Irminger Sea is able to penetrate into the fjord. This shallow mooring observed the upper water column above the Atlantic water layer. Observations have been collected in the fjord since 2008.
