Depth of the mooring from the surface: Sensors maintained below 24m from the surface from July 2014 till July 2019 and below 15m from the surface from July 2019 till date.
CO2 data was collected at a nominal depth of 35 m below the surface through the IndARC-3 mooring in Kongsfjorden from July 2016 to July 2017 as a collaboration between NCPOR and Norwegian Polar Institute and Institute for Marine Research. The sensor has been deployed again at a nominal depth of 25 m in July 2019, which is underwater till date in IndARC-5. The contact person for this sensor is Agneta Fransson, NPI (Agneta.Fransson@npolar.no).
All the other data listed are collected by NCPOR, India
