Temperature, Salinity, and Velocity observations from a mooring outside of Sermilik Fjord from August 2015 to July 2017

Moored time series of temperature, salinity, and velocity from a mooring deployed outside of Sermilik Fjord, East Greenland, from August 2015 to July 2017. The mooring was deployed just outside of the fjord, on the continental shelf to the west of the fjord mouth, at 65.5651 degrees North (N), 38.3504 degrees West (W) (water depth of 180 meters (m)). Temperature and salinity were observed a Seabird Microcat. The velocity was observed by an RDI Workhorse 300 kilohertz (kHz) Acoutstic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), providing a velocity profile over the water column. 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. Observations have been collected in the fjord since 2008.
