Vertical 1-dbar averaged temperature and salinity profiles in Hornsund Fjord

Dataset of vertical temperature and salinity profiles obtained at various locations across the Hornsund fjord. Several CTD instruments have been used for data collection: Valeport miniCTD, two separate SAIV A/S 208 STD/CTDs and two separate RBR concerto CTDs.

The data are stored in folders organized by the year (YYYY) of measurements. Each vertical profile is stored as an individual, tab-separated ASCII file. The filenames are formed from the date (and time) of measurement followed by the instrument and station names: YYYYMMDD_instrument_station.txt or YYYYMMDDhhmmss_instrument_station.txt. Each file includes eight headerlines with information on station name, geographical location (decimal degrees), bottom depth at the location (m), date (and time) of measurement (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss), instrument and its serial number, source of financial support and data column names. There are seven data columns: pressure (dbar), depth (m), temperature (°C), potential temperature (°C), practical salinity (PSU), SigmaT density (kg/m**3) and sound velocity (m/s).

The data are averaged to 1-dbar vertical bins. Before averaging, data are visually inspected and suspicious data are removed. Based on inter-calibration between the instruments, a linear correction has been calculated for temperature and conductivity and added to the measurements by SAIV A/S 208 CTD. In general, both down- and up-profiles are used for averaging. Finally, the data is interpolated and smoothed.
