Spotter Pro Marine Mammal Records

Marianne Helene Rasmussen

Spotter Pro is a global citizen science program using an app for recording marine mammals from ships of opportunity. The dataset can enable a better understanding of whale numbers, distribution and population dynamics. This may for instance be useful to prevent ship strikes.

Oceanographic data from the INTAROS deep mooring NERSC-4

Agnieszka Beszczynska-Möller

The deep ocean mooring NERSC-4 was deployed in 2019-2020 in the southern Nansen Basin at 81°47'N and 22°E at the water depth of 3458 m. The multidisciplinary mooring carried instruments from different INTAROS partners to collect physical, biogeochemical, and ocean sound observations. NERSC-4 was equipped with the upward-looking Nortek AD2CP Signture250 and the downward-looking TRDI LR ADCP for ocean current measurements, and point CTD, TD, T, and DO senors from SeaBird, RBR, and AADI for temperature, salinity, pressure and dissolved oxygen measurements.

Oceanographic data from the IOPAN long-term monitoring program AREX

Agnieszka Beszczynska-Möller

Oceanographic measurements from the IOPAN long-term large-scale multidisciplinary Arctic monitoring program AREX. CTD/LADCP/VMADCP measurements collected by IOPAN from RV Oceania during the annually repeated large-scale surveys in June-July, covering the regular station grid in the eastern Nordic Seas, Fram Strait and the southern Nansen Basin (10-15 standard sections within 70-81°N and 0-22°E). Duration: 1988 - ongoing (annually repeated summer survey of 2 month duration). Measurements on the regularly repeated grid of sections/stations collected since 1997.

CTD measurements during the INTAROS 2018 cruise

Agnieszka Beszczynska-Möller

During the INTAROS cruise on KV Svalbard in August 2018 conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth) measurements were collected on 50 stations located in the region of INTAROS moored array between the deep Nansen Basin and shallow shelf north of Svalbard. First CTD stations were located at the positions of recovered moorings to provide data for instrument calibrations. Additional stations were measured during all mooring deployments. After completing mooring operations, one CTD section with high spatial resolution was measured along the INTAROS mooring line at 22°E. CTD measurements were performed by IOPAN, CNRS LCOEAN and NERSC scientists.

UAK - Active and Passive Acoustic data - 23 Jun 2020

Espen Storheim

Ambient sound was measured in Storfjorden, Svalbard at frequencies from 30 to 24000Hz at a depth of around 20 meters. The measurements were carried out in open sea at depths of about 100 metres or more. The measurements were carried out using a drifting small boat, where the engine was turned off. Thereafter, a second small boat was used for transmitting pings at 11 kHz towards the first small boat at different depths and ranges. The experiment was carried out in June 2020 by Master students under supervision, as part of a research school in the Barents Sea with K/V Svalbard, organized under the UAK project lead by the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Centre.

UAK - Active and Passive Acoustic data - 25 Jun 2020

Espen Storheim

Ambient sound was measured in Storfjorden, Svalbard at frequencies from 30 to 24000 Hz at depths from 4 to 20 meters. The measurements were carried out near land and melting ice bergs. The measurements were carried out using a drifting small boat, where the engine was turned off. Thereafter, a second small boat was used for transmitting pings at 11 kHz towards the first small boat at different depths and ranges. The experiment was carried out in June 2020 by Master students under supervision, as part of a research school in the Barents Sea with K/V Svalbard, organized under the UAK project lead by the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Centre.

Greenhouse gas flux measurements at the zero curtain, North Slope, Alaska, 2012-2017

Donatella Zona

Climate change is affecting the Arctic at an unprecedented rate, potentially releasing substantial amounts of greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4) from tundra ecosystems. Measuring greenhouse gas emissions in the Arctic, particularly outside of the summer period, is very challenging due to extreme weather conditions. The University of Sheffield (USFD), the University of Exeter and the San Diego State University (SDSU) are therefore collaborating on data collection, processing, quality control and harmonisation of greenhouse gas measurements at 5 eddy covariance towers in North Slope, Alaska, as well as meteorological observations in the surrounding area. As part of INTAROS, USFD has been in charge of greenhouse gas measurements and their publication in an open data repository.
