CTD and Microstructure casts perfromed during KB2022625

Abstract

KB2022625 Tromsø-Tromsø (28.-9.2022-13.10.2022) was a physical oceanography process study cruise with focus on trubulence measurements at and around the Barents Sea Polar Front. During the cruise, 267 MSS microstructure casts were performed along 6 transects. A total of 62 CTD (equipped with acoustic courrent meters) casts were made, typically one at every other station along these transects. Additionally 3 separate 24h stations with half-hourly MSS casts were held in the vicinity of Bjørnøya and the Polar Front.
