Environment
Observatory moored with anchor weight. Bottom depth around 220 m. About 200 m of mooring line. Subsurface buoyancy at about 20 m water depth (hence the -20 m above sea level which refers to the start of the mooring line, not an actual instrument depth). Top 20 m left empty due to risk of ice scouring. Main "photo" is an example of a mooring diagram. Mooring setup is similar for other years, but does have changes in the details. Additional photos to illustrate some of the instrumentation.
Data is available at https://archive.sigma2.no/ split up according to years and sensor types.

Environment
Bayelva is situated on Brøggerhalvøya, due west of Ny-Ålesund. The catchment area is 30.9 km² of which 54 % is covered by the glaciers Austre Brøggerbreen and Vestre Brøggerbreen. In 1988 NVE initiated the discharge measurements and the river profile of Bayelva was stabilised by a large compound crump weir, designed and built by NVE. The cost was about 1 million Norwegian 1988-kroner. As the river profile is constantly changing there followed several problems, mainly due to the large amounts of sediment and ice build-up, but most were solved the following year.
The main problems with the runoff measurements are connected to ice and snow blocking the weir at the beginning of the snowmelt season (Fig. 14), leading to errors in calculation of river discharge. This is corrected for as far as possible, but the resulting accuracy is not known precisely.
