Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data for sea ice motion in Admiralty Inlet

This dataset contains time series of ice motion from GNSS receivers placed on sea ice on either side of a lead (or where a lead was likely to develop) in Admiralty Inlet with a stationary GNSS base station. To add additional accuracy and precision a stationary GNSS base station was located nearby on the land. As leads form and expand in the spring in landfast ice, they can become locations of where ice can break-off, so ice motion data were collected to analyze how ice motion may change prior to break-off. This dataset was developed as part of a larger project to establish observational systems for weather, current, and sinaa (lead) monitoring to complement Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ; Inuit knowledge and ways of knowing) and support real-time decision making for safe spring ice travel in the communities of Ikpiarjuk (Arctic Bay) and Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet), Nunavut.
