Abstract:
Time-series recorded at the mooring MDI in inner Kongsfjorden, at nominal depths of 35 m and 85 m during different deployments.
MDI allows us to continuously monitor the variations of the thermohaline characteristics of:
a) intermediate water that derives from the intrusion of Atlantic-type water;
b) bottom water produced locally during the winter.
Furthermore, through the collection of particulate matter, information is acquired on sedimentary processes and interactions between water and particulate matter with microzooplankton, glaciers and coastal runoff.
