Available Light Within the Water Column and on the Seafloor of Arctic Fjords

Satellite data collected between 2003 and 2022, in conjunction with gridded bathymetric data (50-150 m resolution), are used to estimate the irradiance reaching the bottom of a series of representative EU Arctic fjords. An Earth System Science Data (ESSD) manuscript, Schlegel et al. (2024), provides a detailed explanation of the methodology.
