Abstract
As part of the ExFOBB project, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, in collaboration with the Norwegian Polar Institute and the Alfred Wegener Institute, developed and deployed two marine mooring observatories to investigate the characteristics and temporal variability of Atlantic water inflow into Kongsfjorden, an open fjord on the west coast of Svalbard in the Arctic. The moorings, named ‘ExFOBB Inner’ (located at the southern end of the mouth of Kongsfjorden and Krossfjorden, 300m bottom depth) and ‘ExFOBB Outer’ (situated just north of Prince Karls Forland, 260m bottom depth), were deployed along the route of Atlantic inflow to Kongsfjorden. They were deployed for two one-year periods: 1) September 2023 – June 2024, and 2) June 2024 – September 2025. This is the mooring diagram for the inner mooring of the 2024-2025 season.
