Raw data files from autonomous instruments installed on Floe South in the marginal ice zone northwest of Svalbard in July 2022 as part of RV POLARSTERN expedition PS131 (ATWAICE)

DOI

During Polarstern expedition PS131 (ATWAICE: ATlantic WAter pathways to the ICE), a large number of autonomous instruments were installed on three representative ice floes across the marginal ice zone northwest of Svalbard in July 2022. The aim was to investigate sea ice summer melt processes, with a focus on the contribution of the Atlantic water inflow into the region. The attached .zip file includes raw data files obtained from all instruments deployed on the southernmost floe, also referred to as Floe South. Depending on the instrument, the data were transmitted via satellite, collected on internal memory, or both. The instruments were installed on Floe South on 14 July 2022, revisited for maintenance on 21 July 2022, and partially recovered on 31 July 2022. The sensors included 1 ADCP to measure ocean currents, a CTD buoy (SIT) with 5 SBE37IMP, a SIMBA- and a SIMB-type ice mass balance buoy to determine ice surface and bottom melt, an OpenMetBuoy (OMB) and iridium IMU logger for wave detection, two GPS drifters, and 2 timelapse cameras to document surface changes. All instruments performed as expected. All instruments except one OpenMetBuoy were recovered before leaving the study area on 31 July. The processed data will be provided and linked to when available.

We are grateful to the captain, crew, and scientific staff of Polarstern expedition PS131 for their great field support. We thank the International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP) for the financial support with the buoy data costs.The deployment event of the instruments is PS131_48-1, the revisit event is PS131_68-1, and the recovery event is PS131_92-1.
