title: Arctic Ocean 2018 - Meteorologiska och oceanografiska data, samt skeppsdata, insamlade ombord på isbrytaren Oden

description: The expedition Arctic Ocean 2018 was a collaboration between the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), using the Swedish icebreaker Oden as a platform for research in the High Arctic. The framework for the expedition was set out by the project “The life cycle of clouds in the high Arctic summer with linkages to the microbial life in ocean and life”. The project had some crucial requirements such as a quick approach into the High Arctic and then finding a suitable ice flow, moor to this flow, and then stay there for scientific work during the minimum ice coverage period, and finally to cover the refreezing processes. 
The NSF, and the Swedish Research Council and Formas selected several additional projects fitting into the overall layout of the expedition Arctic Ocean 2018. For more information on the research projects see: https://www.polar.se/en/
The data presented here are the meteorological, oceanographic and ship data collected onboard Icebreaker Oden during the expedition Arctic Ocean 2018.

This data set contains meteorological, oceanographical and ship data collected onboard IB Oden during the scientific expedition Arctic Ocean 2018, which was an international research cruise to the Arctic Ocean.

Meteorological variables: Air temperature, Humidity, Wind direction/speed, Atmospheric pressure, Cloud height/cloudiness, Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR).

Oceanographical variables: Sea water temperature, Conductivity, Salinity and Sound velocity.

Ship data: Position, Speed, Course, Heading, Water depth.

A "Parameter list" which describes the dataset is attached.

Quality Information: No quality check or other processing of the data has been undertaken. Users should be aware of this in further data handling and analysis.
description: Expedition Arctic Ocean 2018 var ett samarbete mellan Polarforskningssekretariatet och USA:s National Science Foundation med syfte att utnyttja isbrytaren Oden som plattform för forskning i Högarktis. Det övergripande temat för expeditionen handlade om det mikrobiologiska livet i havet och havsisen, och hur det är kopplat till hur moln bildas i Arktis.

De data som presenteras här är meteorologiska och oceanografiska data, samt skeppsdata, som samlades in under expedition Arctic Ocean 2018.

Data innehåller meteorologiska och oceanografiska data, samt skeppsdata, insamlade ombord på isbrytaren Oden under den internationella forskningsexpeditionen Arctic Ocean 2018.

Meteorologiska variabler: Lufttemperatur, luftfuktighet, vindriktning/-hastighet, lufttryck, molnhöjd/molnighet, fotosyntetiskt aktiv strålning (PAR).

Oceanografiska variabler: Havsvattentemperatur, konduktivitet, salthalt, ljudhastighet.

Skeppsdata: Position, fart, kurs, stävad kurs, vattendjup.
