Hydrographic data from Northern Norwegian fjords - 1957

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).

挪威北部海岸（马拉根湾至波尔桑厄峡湾一带）的海洋物理数据定期采集工作始于20世纪初，部分历史最悠久的采样站点至今仍在挪威北极大学（UIT-The Arctic university of Norway）组织的"Havmiljødata"采样计划中持续运行。特罗姆瑟及挪威北部地区的短期（1-2年）物理海洋学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。最初数十年间，采样工作通过租用船舶开展，海洋物理数据采集与海洋生物样本采集同步进行。约1975年，该工作由特罗姆瑟大学接手；1979年，经修订优化的全新采样网络重新投入运行。多年来，团队还在数据质量控制、仪器（CTD）维护与校准方面投入了大量精力。自20世纪90年代初起，负责数据采样工作的BFE学院（生物科学、渔业与经济学院，Fakultet for biovitenskap, fiskeri og økonomi）将该项目整合为"Havmiljødata（HMD）"。
