This dataset comprises measurements from moored sediment trap, collected by the mooring KIM mooring in the Krossfjord (Svalbard islands). The data was gathered at Krossfjorden, Svalbard Island, since September 2020. This dataset is also part of 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: Total Sedimentation flux.

This dataset comprises measurements from moored thermistor, collected by the Aldo Pontremoli Mooring (MAP), which is managed by the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council (CNR). The Aldo Pontremoli Mooring (MAP), operated by the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council (CNR), has been active in the Kongsfjord, located in the Svalbard archipelago, since September, 2020. The instrument collect physical Essential Ocean Variables, including sea water temperature. This activity is part of the Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS), which aims to monitor the impacts of climate change, such as the rapid loss of sea ice cover, the retreat of local glaciers, and the Atlantification of Arctic seas. Time series acquisition is ongoing and will continue, supported by funding from JRA ENI-CNR. The project's goal is to analyse the environmental feeback related to the material released into the marine environment due to permafrost melting. Reactivated permafrost can have significant consequences for both climate and the environment by contributing to the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and pollutants into aquatic ecosystems

Aerosol particles that can aid the formation of ice crystals in clouds are known as ice nucleating particles (INPs). These particles play a critical role in Arctic cloud formation and regional climate. However, it remains challenging for global climate models (GCMs) to well represent Arctic INPs. To understand the biases in the GCMs, we compare simulated results from a GCM with long-term meteorological, aerosol, and INP measurements at one surface station in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. We find that the simulated aerosol properties are biased from the observations within one order of magnitude, due to uncertainties in modeling physical and chemical aerosol processes. Using soil samples collected from Ny-Ålesund, we derived a new fit that relates local HLD with INP concentrations. This fit shows strong ice nucleating ability at warm temperatures, indicating the presence of organic matter in local HLD. Incorporating the new fit for local HLD INPs along with parameterizations representing INPs from other terrestrial and marine sources, our model reproduces measured INP concentrations reasonably well. Our comparison highlights the importance of local HLD to the Arctic INP population. Our findings emphasize the need for long-term Arctic measurements and better representation of HLD in GCMs to improve the understanding in Arctic INP properties and their role in Arctic cloud formation.

This dataset comprises measurements from S1 Mooring, which is managed by the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council (CNR) and National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS). The data was gathered on the Fram Strait south of the Spitsbergen in an open-sea area strongly influenced by both the interaction between Atlantic (northward-moving) and Arctic (southward-moving) waters as well as by the presence and winter formation of sea ice and atmospheric forcing. To understand these dynamics, a deep-water oceanographic S1 Mooring was anchored at about 1040 meters depth, since June 2014 and is part of 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. The dataset is related to thermistor mounted at 925m during the 2023 - 2024 survey. The acquisition of this time series data is still ongoing and will continue, bolstered by the inclusion of this infrastructure within the framework of the Italian PNRR project ITINERIS. This ensures sustained data collection and further enhances our understanding of the observed environmental changes.

The Climate Change Tower Integrated Project (CCT-IP) reflects the priorities of Italian Arctic research and aims to investigate the interactions among all components of the Arctic climate system. The Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower (CCT) serves as the project’s central infrastructure, providing continuous measurements of atmospheric parameters at multiple heights and at the critical interface between the surface and the atmosphere. A SPN1 net radiometer, installed at a height of 33 m in 2023, is used to measure the radiation partition between incoming direct and diffuse irradiance. Previously, in 2009, a combination of sensors—including a CNR1 net radiometer at 33 m and CM11 and CG4 sensors at 25 m—was deployed for the same purpose. Radiation data are processed to provide 30-minute averages (μ) and standard deviations (σ), along with derived products such as total net radiation and an indication of sun presence. These data will be available for download. Additionally, 1-minute resolution data are available for download upon request.
