Abstract
The cruise KB 2018616 aboard the Research Vessel Kristine Bonnevie was the first research cruise of the Nansen Legacy project. The cruise aimed at collecting ocean stratification, currents, and microstructure profiles along selected transects across the Spitsbergen shelf and slope, thus providing the background for the Kronprins Haakon cruise scheduled in late September 2018. This report provides an overview of the methods employed and the data collected during KB 2018616.
Highlights
The cruise KB 2018616 aboard the Research Vessel Kristine Bonnevie is the first research cruise of the project the Nansen Legacy
Salinity and conductivity values from each bottle are merged with the corresponding conductivity temperature depth (CTD) data
Following the procedure recommended by UNESCO [1988], only data within the 95% confidence interval are used to correct the calibration of the CTD conductivity
Summary
The cruise KB 2018616 aboard the Research Vessel Kristine Bonnevie is the first research cruise of the project the Nansen Legacy. The project will provide a scientific knowledgebase needed for future sustainable resource management in the transitional Barents Sea and the adjacent Arctic Basin. It is a collaborative project between ten Norwegian research institutions, and will run from 2018-2023. The first cruise, was aboard Kristine Bonnevie, addressing ocean mixing process studies in the region west and north of Svalbard. The field programme of Task 1-2-1 includes the present cruise and the planned cruises coordinated with deployments of moorings, gliders and AUVs, to capture the role of frontal processes, tides, background shear and wind energy in turbulent mixing distribution within the ocean and interactions and feedback with sea ice cover. This report provides an overview of the methods employed and the data collected during KB 2018616
