Data collection was conducted by deploying five moorings from September 2012 to August 2013. One mooring was not recovered. The four recovered moorings were named CM0, CM1, CM5, and SF4. Mooring CM0 was located mid-fjord at a depth of 125 meters and was equipped with an SBE MicroCAT, an RBR DR-1050, and an Onset U-22 ProV2. Mooring CM1 was located next to CM0 at a depth of 125 meters. It was equipped with an SBE MicroCAT, an RBR DR-1050, and an Onset UTBI-001 TidbiT. Mooring CM5 was located outside of the fjord entrance at a depth of 290 meters. It was equipped with an SBE MicroCAT and a Nortek Aquadopp. Mooring SF4 was positioned in the middle of the fjord at a depth of 880 meters. Data collected from this mooring included two RBR XR-420s, ten Onset UTBI-001 Temperature Loggers, two SBE MicroCAT, an RBR DR-1050, a Nortek Aquadopp, and an RDI LR-ADCP. The over reaching goal of this work is to understand the glacier/ocean interactions in Greenland's glacial fjord both to explain the recent and ongoing changes, and to improve our ability to make future predictions (of sea level rise in particular).
