Raw physical oceanography and current meter data from mooring 79N2-2 in the Greenland Sea, September 2017 - September 2021

Time-series data of physical oceanography and ocean current velocities were obtained from mooring 79N2-2 in the Greenland Sea close to the calving front of the 79 North Glacier between September 2017 and September 2021. The mooring was deployed during RV Polarstern expedition PS109, and recovered during Danish coast guard patrol vessel HDMS Triton expedition TRITON2021. The attached archive contains raw data files of three Seabird SBE37 MicroCATs (nominal depths: 235m, 375m, 393m; sampling interval 15min to 1h), five SBE56 temperature loggers (nominal depths: 270m, 305m, 340m, 436m, 466m; sampling interval 30s), one RDI 1200kHz Workhorse ADCP (nominal depth: 385m; sampling interval 1.5h), and one RDI 75kHz Longranger ADCP (nominal depth: 456m; sampling interval 1h). Auxiliary information such as sensor calibration sheets, protocols, mooring diagrams, and schedule files are also provided, if applicable. The surface part of the mooring, consisting of one SBE37IMP MicroCAT and four SBE39plus-IM that were originally connected to a data logger via an inductive modem loop, was lost. The data logger, which was still attached to the main mooring line just below the weak link, could be recovered, and had recorded 3.5 months of instrument data.
