Main a trace chemical markers annually and seasonally averaged concentrations in the aerosol (bulk and PM10) sampled in 10 sites in the Arctic and Panarctic regions

This proposal will focus, by means of a multidisciplinary and well-balanced consortium on eutrophication, contaminants, marine litter and underwater noise descriptors of the MSFD. vertical acquisition in 18 CTD station in Kongsfjorden with water sampling at 2-3 depths (surface, intermediate, bottom)for nutrient and pH analyses of sampled water in the lab. parameters: Pressure, Strain Gauge [db]rnTemperature [IPTS-68, deg C]rnConductivity [mS/cm]rnpHrnOxygen, SBE 43 [ml/l]rnTurbidity, Turner Cyclops [NTU] Pressure, Strain Gauge [db]rnTemperature [IPTS-68, deg C]rnConductivity [mS/cm]rnpHrnOxygen, SBE 43 [ml/l]rnTurbidity, Turner Cyclops [NTU]

Arctic Present Climate Change and Past Extreme Events (ARCA) The data refer to rock magnetic and paleomagnetic measurements taken at a 1-cm spacing on u-channel samples collected from piston cores from the continental platform and slope of the NW Barents Sea. Measurements were carried out in the paleomagnetic laboratory of INGV in Rome, using a superconducting rock magnetometer installed in a magnetically shielded room.

Atmospheric Gondola for Aerosol Profiles (AGAP) The scientific goals of AGAP are to develop novel aerosol payloads and evaluate the vertical distribution of aerosol properties in the Arctic Boundary Layer. Dataset consists in Aerosol vertical profiles gridded at a 50 m spatial resolution: R, T, P, RH, Aerosol size distribution, BC concentration, O3. Maximum altitudes 1500 m.

ISotopic and physical-chemical MOnitoring of GLACial drainages and sea water in the Ny-Ålesund area (Svalbard) The dataset includes vertical profiles of physical-chemical performed on-site in different sites along the fjord in Kongsfjorden.

Freshwater input in the Kongsfjorden (FIKO) Project Start: 2010-06-01 End:2020-12-31 FIKO project aims to acquire measurements of the chemical and physical characteristics of water masses in Kongsfjorden, and estimate the amount of fresh water released from glaciers, in order to study the interactions of this water with the warmer Atlantic waters. The dataset consist of water column profiles of pressure, temperature, salinity, fluorescence and turbidity located within the Kongsfjorden at Platform: MS Teisten - Kings Bay AS, vertical resolution 0.5 m Kongsfjorden_CTD_profiles_2013: 48 water column profiles by SBE19plus CTD probe Kongsfjorden_CTD_profiles_2014: 42 water column profiles by SBE19plus CTD probe Kongsfjorden_CTD_profiles_2015: 82 water column profiles by SBE19plus CTD probe Kongsfjorden_CTD_profiles_2016: 34 water column profiles by SBE19plus CTD probe Kongsfjorden_CTD_profiles_2017: 5 water column profiles by SAIV A/S SD204 – CTD/STD Kongsfjorden_CTD_profiles_2018: 41 water column profiles by SAIV A/S SD204 – CTD/STD Kongsfjorden_CTD_profiles_2019: 12 water column profiles by SAIV A/S SD204 – CTD/STD Kongsfjorden_Krossfjorden_CTD_profiles_2020: 29 water column profiles by SBE19plus CTD probe in 3 different areas: Krossfjorden, kongsfjorden at one transect along the fjord axis, off Bayelva river area.

High-Latitude Aurora Activity Monitor by means of an automatised digital camera, recording all-sky images in the 630.0 nm (red), 557.7 nm (green) and 427.8 nm (blue) wavelengths. The camera is operated by INAF (Italian National Institute of Astrophysics) and contributes to the international network MIRACLE (https://space.fmi.fi/MIRACLE/), with instruments distributed along the Scandinavia and the Svalbard. The camera started operating in November 1999, when it was located on the roof of the French building (Lat = 78° 55' 20" N, Lon = 11° 56' 02" E). In November 2015 the instrument was moved to the Sensitive Lights Cabin (Lat = 78° 56' 28.2" N, Lon = 11° 50' 31.7" E, Elev. = 28 m). The Instrument was then updated in 2017 with a new cooled CMOS camera, which replaced the old CCD camera + image intensifier.

EEE@NYALESUND (EEENYA) The Dataset contains flux of cosmic rays measured at different locations at Ny Alesund. Each cosmic ray event will be tagged in time using GPS. Cosmic rays data will be correlated with atmoshperic conditions, also contained in the dataset. Measurement site: Ny Alesund: 1. Dirigibile Italia Station, 2. Gruvbadet laboratory, 3. close to the Amundsen-Nobile tower

The automated station to measures snow cover is operating at the Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower since 2010, which is in a tundra site almost flat, located in the Kolhaugen area. The station is part of a complex infrastructure where multi-disciplinary observations are routinely performed. Data were collected using an ultrasonic distance sensor. This activity is carried out in the framework of the SnowCorD project (SIOS Core Data).
