Description

A dataframe containing water mass definitions for Isfjorden. Transformed Atlantic Water (TAW) temperature maximum (originally 3 degrees Celcius) has been removed to include values in between Intermediate Water (IW) and Atlantic Water (AW) into the classification. Further, the maximum salinity limit for TAW has been removed as intended by the authors (Fig. 5, defined wrong in Table 1). Finally, the minimum salinity of Winter Cooled Water (originally 34.4) was changed to the maximum salinity of Arctic Water to avoid overlap.
