In summer 2014, the Greenland Climate Research Centre and ASIAQ installed a new weather station and a time-lapse camera in the inner part of Godthåbsfjord. In vicinity of the weather station a CTD equipped with additional sensors for oxygen, chlorophyll, turbidity, light and pH will be deployed (in collaboration with NIOZ). These continuous mooring measurements will allow to quantify the role of fjord winds on upwelling events in the fjord. Using the continuous oxygen data allows to estimate of net community production close to a tidewater outlet glacier.
