Abstract:
Time series data of physical oceanography (seawater conductivity, temperature, pressure, salinity) and ocean current velocities were obtained from mooring F3-18 in the Fram Strait in September 2018 - July 2020 as part of the Helmholtz infrastructure program Frontiers in Arctic Marine Monitoring (FRAM) and the long-term monitoring program at AWI HAUSGARTEN. The mooring was deployed during RV MARIA S. MERIAN expedition MSM76 and recovered during MSM93. The attached archive contains raw data files of four Seabird SBE37 microcats (nominal depths: 54m, 200m, 250m, 760m; sampling interval 20 min), one RDI Longranger ADCP (nominal depth: 400m; sampling interval 1h) and two AADI RCM11 current meters (nominal depths: 759m, 1067m; sampling interval 2h). The ADCP suffered from a compass calibration issue. Both RCMs only measured for one year due to early power failures. Auxiliary information such as sensor calibration sheets, mooring diagrams and schedule files are also provided, if applicable.

Comment:
The file F3-18.zip includes all available sensor raw data from mooring F3-18. The structure of the unzipped folders is mooring->sensor/sampler type->serial number->instrument files. All instruments were synched to UTC before deployment, and the offset after the recovery is supplied in the respective instrument folder, if available. The archive also contains the sensor calibration sheets/files and relevant sampler schedule files, if available. Finally, mooring schematics are also attached as pdfs in the root folder.
The authors are grateful to the captains, crews and technical/scientific staff of the expeditions MSM76 and MSM93 onboard RV MARIA S. MERIAN. Many individuals have contributed to the conception of the research, the preparation of the instruments, the deployment and recoveries, as well as to the retrieval of the data, which we greatly appreciate. We also acknowledge funding from the Helmholtz infrastructure program "Frontiers in Arctic Marine Monitoring", and the Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung.
