Summary

Greenland’s coastal region is changing drastically due to ongoing climate change with impacts on the melt of the Greenland Ice Sheet. In-situ measurements are crucial to better understand the ocean processes. Using floats that autonomously profile the water column, we can collect valuable data on the shelf and in the fjord. This will provide real-time data during the full year on ocean conditions.
