Hydrographic data from Northern Norwegian fjords - 1957

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，沿挪威北部海岸（从马尔安根至波斯加内尔峡湾）的周期性水文物理数据收集工作便已开始，其中一些最古老的监测站至今仍在由挪威北极大学（UIT）组织的“Havmiljødata”采样计划下持续运行。对特罗姆瑟及挪威北部地区较短时段（1-2年）内的物理海洋学数据的系统收集可追溯至约1872年，当时特罗姆瑟博物馆成立。最初的几十年中，采样工作由租赁的船只执行，水文物理数据的收集与海洋生物的采样密切相关。自约1975年起，特罗姆瑟大学接管了相关工作，并于1979年启动了一个新的修订网络。多年来，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，负责数据采样并组织为Havmiljødata（HMD）的BFE学院（Fakultet for biovitenskap, fiskeri og økonomi）承担了这一责任。
