Sulphate contributions to PM10 aerosol sampled at Gruvebadet Observatory (Ny-Ålesund)

Permafrost Release Into The Marine System In A Warming Arctic (PRIMA) Data about Physical and chemical oceanography and vertical fluxes of sedimentary material from Mooring Aldo Pontremoli (MAP) and geochemical biomarker data from sediment core. Instrument: SBE56, SBE37, Sediment trap Technicap PPS 4/3, GC-MS

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.

Contribution of Vegetation and Soil components to Carbon cycle in Arctic environment in relationship to climate change (VegSoCA). Measurements of soil respiration and 13C labelling on different species in the experimental field close to the CCTower using LiCOR LI-8100. Species were: Carex rupestris, Dryas octopetala, Salix polaris, Moss and bare soil. Dataset: Species type, date, soil water content, soil EC, soil temperature, CO2 flux.

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.

Spatial variability: validation dataset on pops concentrations in snow (SVAL-POPS) We aim to measure the spatial variability of chosen persistent organic pollutants levels in the snow. The samples will represent three spatial scales: 2-5 m spacing, 0.5-1 km distance, and two sites across Svalbard: Ny Ålesund and Hornsund. These will be compared thanks to a laboratory crosscheck.

Measurements are obtained using a Pyrgeometer Kipp&Zonen, model CGR4, installed at Thule Air Base (220 m a.s.l.) in May 2013. The instrument sensitivity was determined during factory calibration for temperatures down to -40 °C, thus specifically suited for the polar environment. Data are acquired by a datalogger at 30 s time intervals and then transferred to a PC. The CGR4 and its dedicated PC are maintained by Daniela Meloni at ENEA.

Ionospheric Scintillations Arctic Campaign Coordinated Observations (ISACCO) The aim of ISACCO is to perform a scintillation measurements campaign by a GNSS Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC Monito) at Ny-Ålesund and Longyearbyen (Svalbard, Norway). The System consists of dual-frequency receiver with special firmware specifically configured to measure amplitude and phase scintillation. Starting from the end of 2015 a Septentrio PolaRxS_PRO receiver has been installed in one of the two observation sites in Svalbard, NyÅlesund, for the observation of all the available satellite constellations GALILEO, GPS, GLONASS at the Svalbard longitude.
