Hydrographic data from Northern Norwegian fjords - 2006

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（从马兰根至波森瑟峡湾）的物理水文数据的周期性收集工作便已开始，其中一些最古老的站点至今仍由挪威北极大学（UIT）组织的“海洋环境数据”采样计划所运营。在特罗姆瑟和挪威北部，对较短周期（1-2年）内的物理海洋学数据的系统检索可追溯至大约1872年，当时特罗姆瑟博物馆成立。在最初的几十年里，采样工作由雇佣船只进行，水文数据的收集与海洋生物的采样相联系。从大约1975年起，这一工作由特罗姆瑟大学接管，而自1979年起，一个新修订的网络又开始运行。随着时间的推移，数据质量控制和仪器（CTD）的维护与校准也投入了大量努力。自20世纪90年代初起，负责数据采样并组织为海洋环境数据（HMD）的BFE学院（生物科学、渔业与经济学院）承担了这一责任。
