KIM Mooring ADCP data @ 200m

This dataset comprises measurements from a moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), collected by the Krossfjord Italian Mooring (KIM), which is managed by the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council (CNR). The data was gathered in the Krossfjord, Svalbard Island, since September 2020. This dataset come from a new sensor acquired in the context of the Italian PNRR project ITINERIS with the aim to increase observation of essential ocean variables. This dataset contribute to the SIOS-Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System, developed to observe the impacts of climate change, including the rapid loss of sea ice cover, the retreat of local glaciers, and the Atlantification of Arctic seas. Measured properties are: subsurface temperature and currents along the water column. This ensures sustained data collection and further enhances our understanding of the observed environmental changes.
