Hydrographic data from Northern Norwegian fjords - 2003

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（从马尔安根到波森瑟峡湾）的物理水文数据的周期性收集工作便已开始，其中一些最古老的观测站仍由挪威北极大学（UIT）组织的“Havmiljødata”采样计划持续运营。在特罗姆瑟及挪威北部对物理海洋学数据进行的系统性收集工作可追溯至约1872年，当时特罗姆瑟博物馆成立。在最初的几十年中，采样活动是由雇佣的船只完成的，而水文数据的收集与海洋生物的采样相联系。自约1975年起，这项工作由特罗姆瑟大学接管，并于1979年以新的修订网络重新启动。随着时间的推移，大量努力也投入到数据质量控制、仪器（CTD）的维护和校准工作中。自20世纪90年代初起，负责组织Havmiljødata（HMD）数据采样的BFE学院（Fakultet for biovitenskap, fiskeri og økonomi）承担了这一责任。
