Hydrographic data from Northern Norwegian fjords - 1988

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世纪初以来，对挪威北部海岸（从马拉根至波塞恩斯 fjord）的物理水文数据的周期性收集便已开始，其中一些最古老的观测站至今仍由挪威北极大学（UIT）组织的“Havmiljødata”采样计划持续运营。对特罗姆瑟及挪威北部地区较短时期（1-2年）内的物理海洋学数据的系统检索可追溯至约1872年，当时特罗姆瑟博物馆成立。在最初的几十年中，采样工作由雇佣船只进行，水文数据的获取与海洋生物的采样相联系。自约1975年起，该任务由特罗姆瑟大学接管，并于1979年以一个新的修订网络重新启动。随着时间的推移，在数据质量控制、仪器（CTD）维护和校准方面也投入了大量的努力。自1990年代初，负责组织Havmiljødata（HMD）数据采集的BFE学院（Fakultet for biovitenskap, fiskeri og økonomi）便承担了这一责任。
