Long-term freshwater chemistry monitoring of the non-glaziarized Fuglebekken catchment, 2013-2024

The data presented originate from the hydrochemical monitoring of the Fuglebekken stream water. The monitoring regime for the Fuglebekken stream was maintained from 2013 to 2024, focusing exclusively on the summer ablation periods. The Fuglebekken catchment constitutes a small, non-glacierized drainage basin, encompassing an area of approximately 1.3 km2. Water samples were collected in-situ using an automated sampler. In the hydrochemical facility at the Polish Polar Station Hornsund, the samples underwent immediate analysis for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and alkalinity. Subsequently, a sub-sample was filtered through a 0.45 µm MCE MF-Millipore membrane filter and analyzed for its dissolved major ion composition using ion chromatography (IC). These data contribute to the long-term environmental monitoring scheme for the natural environment of Southern Spitsbergen, which is continuously maintained by the Polish Polar Station Hornsund.
