Hornsund Fjord 2023: Broadband Active Acoustic and Oceanographic Data
Owning Institution: UC San Diego, Research Data Curation Program
About this Collection
The archive contains all data collected during the Hornsund Fjord 2023 expedition, which took place in Southwestern Svalbard. Hornsund Fjord 2023 aimed to characterize the thermohaline structure of a high latitude fjord through the collection of active acoustic and oceanographic data. This project is part of a larger research effort in Hornsund Fjord, Svalbard under the research permit 11023, "Measuring the melt rate of glacier ice with underwater noise (Ice melt from hydroacoustics)". This is a multi-year study with typically 6-week field deployments in Hornsund fjord, Svalbard designed to address 1) the distribution of gas pressures and bubbles sizes in glacier ice, 2) the variability in these distributions between glaciers, and 3) the variation of sound production from melting glacier ice versus depth below the sea surface and water temperature.
