        abstract:  The data included in this dataset were collected in the Sermilik Fjord, located in East Greenland in the Ammassalik district close to the town of Tasiilaq. Data collection was conducted by deploying six moorings from August 2011 to September 2012. The seven moorings were named CM1SF5, CM2SF6, OE1, OW1, SF1, SF3, and SF4. Mooring CM1SF5 was located mid-fjord at a depth of 129 meters and was equipped with an SBE MicroCAT. Mooring CM2SF6 was located next to CM1SF5 at a depth of 265 meters. It was equipped with an SBE MicroCAT. Two moorings were positioned outside the fjord, OE1 was located on the east side of the fjord entrance at a depth of 255 meters and OW1 was located on the west side at a depth of 252 meters. Mooring OE1 was equipped with an RBR DR-150 Depth Recorder, five Onset UTBI-001 TidbiT Temperature Loggers, and an RBR XR-420 CTD. Mooring OW1 was outfitted with only an SBE MicroCAT. Mooring SF1 was located at the north end of the fjord at a depth of 630 meters. Data recovered from this mooring included three SBE MicroCAT and an RDI ADCP. Mooring SF3 was positioned near the glacier at a depth of 15 meters and was outfitted with an SBE MicroCAT and an Onset UTBI-001 Tidbit Temperature Logger. Mooring SF4 was positioned in the middle of the fjord at a depth of 860 meters. Data collected from this mooring included two RBR XR-420s, five Onset UTBI-001 Temperature Loggers, one SBE MicroCAT, and an RDI ADCP.
        purpose:  This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.

            description:  Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures currents beneath a ship while underway. Sound signals sent from the moving ship bounce back to receivers aboard the ship. This provides a profile of water movement relative to the ship-precise modern navigation, allowing the ship's motion to be subtracted from the data. These devices are also used on moorings and profilers and, along with acoustic backscattering, measure animal biomass. Particles in the path of the sound waves, mostly plankton, reflect a small part of the sound energy back toward receivers, allowing researchers to make remote estimates of the sizes and numbers of animals present in the water column. Before the 1970's, the most technologically advanced instrument used to measure water velocity was known as a Doppler speed log. This evolved into the first commercial ADCP, produced in the mid-1970's, which used averaging. Later in the 1970's, the first vessel-mounted ADCP was developed to measure water velocity more accurately and to allow measurement in range cells over a depth profile. As instruments evolved, so did new techniques in Doppler signal processing. Initially, Doppler speed logs used simple analog signal processing methods, which are still used in some commercial speed logs today. However, the first ADCPs incorporated analog-to-digital signal conversion over a narrow communication bandwidth. Around 1990, this technique was developed into broadband signal processing. Since then, broadband ADCPs have been able to generate very accurate, real-time velocity measurements.
