Environmental data sampled or modelled from the Porsanger fjord for the period 2007-2019

Research cruises into the Porsanger fjord during spring (2007-2015, 2017-2019) or in fall (2016) has been made. Depth data were downloaded from the GEBCO website (Gridded bathymetry data for the Arctic Ocean area (IBCAO) (gebco.net) and sediments were taken from the “Marine—Seabed sediments (grain size) detailed” product from the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) (Definer Datasett (ngu.no). The 17 categories of sediments originally documented in the sediment data were re-coded into 3 main categories (see Merillet et al 2022). Surface and bottom temperatures, salinity as well as seabed current were extracted from the NordKyst800 model archive (Albretsen et al., 2011; Asplin et al., 2020). Here model outputs are stored as daily averages on an 800x800m horizontal grid in 35 vertical layers.
