    The mooring was deployed on 15 September 2017 from Norwegian Research Vessel Lance at 80.6°N and 7.26°E (depth of 730 m) in the Yermak Pass over the Yermak Plateau north of Svalbard. It comprised 3 instruments: an upward-looking RDI 75kHz, a Long Ranger Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) at 340 m with 16 m vertical resolution (25 bins of 16 m each) and a 2-hour sampling time; a Seabird SBE37 measuring temperature, salinity and pressure at 348 m with 10-minute sampling time; and an Aquadopp current meter at 645 m with a 2-hour sampling time. The mooring was retrieved on the 19 July 2020 by Norwegian Icebreaker K.V. Svalbard. The present dataset features: (i) the ADCP 50-hour smoothed daily velocities, conservative temperature and pressure time series interpolated every 10 meters within the 20-330m layer, (ii) the Aquadopp 50-hour smoothed daily velocities and pressure time series at 645 m; and (iii) the SBE37 50-hour smoothed daily conservative temperature, absolute salinity and pressure time series at 348 m. Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.

    The Green Edge project was designed to investigate the onset, life and fate of a phytoplankton spring bloom (PSB) in the Arctic Ocean. The lengthening of the ice-free period and the warming of seawater, amongst other factors, have induced major changes in arctic ocean biology over the last decades. Because the PSB is at the base of the Arctic Ocean food chain, it is crucial to understand how changes in the arctic environment will affect it. Green Edge was a large multidisciplinary collaborative project bringing researchers and technicians from 28 different institutions in seven countries, together aiming at understanding these changes and their impacts on the future. The fieldwork for the Green Edge project took place over two years (2015 and 2016) and was carried out from both an ice camp and a research vessel in the Baffin Bay, Canadian arctic. Here, we describe the data set obtained during the research cruise, which took place aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) Amundsen in spring 2016.

    In the Northwest Atlantic, Pandalus borealis (northern shrimp) serve as key mid-trophic consumers and prey for higher-trophic predators, including commercially important fish species. However, the impact of changing environmental conditions on trophic interactions and lipid storage in sub-Arctic ecosystems is not well understood. We employed biochemical tracers (fatty acids and stable isotopes) to investigate the trophic ecology and stage-specific nutritional condition of P. borealis across spatial and seasonal scales. A total of 68 different fatty acids (FAs) were identified in P. borealis tissues (i.e., muscle and eggs). The relative abundances of these FAs varied among sex, tissues, seasons, and fishing areas. Results revealed that P. borealis primarily fed on diatoms and zooplankton, with opportunistic feeding on sinking phytodetritus. Lipid composition showed strong seasonality, with storage triacylglycerols being the predominant lipid class. Ovigerous females exhibited the highest lipid concentrations and essential fatty acids, emphasizing the ecological importance of eggs as high-quality lipid sources. Additionally, total lipid content in eggs increased from spring to summer, highlighting vulnerability to shifts in seasonal primary production. This study underscores the significant seasonal variability in the nutritional status of P. borealis and the need to understand lipid dynamics to assess population resilience to environmental changes.

    In September 2009, a ship-based study was carried out in the Davis Strait/southern Baffin Bay along a range of transects covering the area between the west coast of Greenland and Baffin Island (Canada) from 68-72º N . Water temperature, salinity and in situ chlorophyll a (chl. a) measured in 0-500 m depths followed the general hydrographical characteristics of the late summer situation. Surface chl. a concentration based on remote sensing satellite data from September 2009 supported these findings. Measurement of in situ chl. a concentrations revealed a maximum in the subsurface (30-50 m water depths). Thus, spatial distribution of the phytoplankton bloom was often restricted to subsurface rather than the surface waters and therefore not detected by the remote sensing during September.

    Two ice mass balance instruments (part of IAOOS7 and IAOOS8 platforms) deployed near 83°N on the same ice floe, documented the evolution of snow and ice conditions in the Arctic Ocean north of Svalbard in Jan-Mar 2015. Frequent profiles of temperature (every 3 hours) and temperature change after 30s and 120s heating (once a day) were recorded. The ratio of the temperature changes after heating provides a proxy for thermal diffusivity. Both instruments documented flooding and snow-ice formation. Flooding was clearly detectable in the simultaneous changes in thermal diffusivity proxy, increased temperature, and heat propagation through the underlying ice. Slush then progressively transformed into snow-ice. Flooding resulted from two different processes; i) after storm-induced break-up of snow-loaded floes for IAOOS8 and ii) after loss of buoyancy due to basal ice melt for IAOOS7. The instrument on IAOOS7 documented basal sea-ice melt over warm Atlantic waters and ocean-to-ice heat flux peaked at up to 400 Wm-2 in winter.

    Global phytoplankton production monthly maps for 2017 are produced using an artificial neural network to perform a generalized nonlinear regression of PP on several predictive variables, including latitude, longitude, day length, MLD, SST, PBopt computed according to Behrenfeld and Falkowski (1997), PAR and CHL(0 m). More details about this model can be found in Scardi (2001). Behrenfeld, M. J., Falkowski, P. G.
