Description

Meltwater from Greenland is an important source of freshwater for the North Atlantic Ocean. Temperature and salinity data collected from 2013 to 2019 in Upernavik Fjord, a major glacial fjord in northwest Greenland, are used to identify both the water masses that flow into the fjord from the shelf and the exported Glacially Modified Water. Profiles in this data set were collected during fieldwork on Research Vessel (R/V) Porsild (for profiles from 2013) and as part of National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Oceans Melting Greenland project (for profiles from 2015-2019). All profiles were manually examined to remove spurious data and ensure consistency across sampling platforms.
