Hydrographic data from Northern Norwegian fjords - 1981

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).沿挪威北部海岸（从马拉根湾至波尔桑厄峡湾）的水文物理数据定期采集工作始于20世纪初，其中部分历史最悠久的监测站至今仍由挪威北极大学（UIT-The Arctic University of Norway）组织的"Havmiljødata"采样计划负责运行。在特罗姆瑟及挪威北部区域，短期（1至2年周期）开展的物理海洋数据系统性采集工作可追溯至约1872年特罗姆瑟博物馆成立之时。最初数十年的采样作业均依托租用船舶完成，且水文物理数据采集与海洋生物样本采集同步开展。约1975年，该项工作由特罗姆瑟大学接管；1979年，经过修订的全新监测网络重新投入运行。多年来，相关团队还在数据质量控制、仪器（温盐深仪，CTD）维护与校准方面投入了大量精力。自20世纪90年代初起，承担数据采样职责的BFE学院（Fakultet for biovitenskap, fiskeri og økonomi，生物科学、渔业与经济学院）将相关工作整合为"Havmiljødata（HMD）"项目。
