Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, turbidity, and photosynthetically available radiation profiles from Sermilik Fjord, East Greenland, collected in August 2015

Thirty three temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, turbidity, and photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) profiles from Sermilik Fjord in Southeast Greenland. The temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen profiles were collected with a Seabird 25plus conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) (serial #0251108); the fluorescence and turbidity profiles were collected with a WET Labs ECO triplet sensor and the PAR profiles were collected with a Biospherical/LI-COR PAR sensor. The profiles were collected during August 2015 from research vessel Adolf Jensen. The profiles were manually examined and are provided as 1-meter (m) bin averages. The survey was comprised an along-fjord section and a section spanning the mouth of the fjord. These data were collected as part of a long-term project to monitor Sermilik Fjord to determine what water masses flow into the fjord; in particular, if warm, Atlantic water from the Irminger Sea is able to penetrate into the fjord. Observations have been collected in the fjord since 2008.
