a Bathymetric map of the Fram Strait with the mooring location within the West Spitsbergen Current. Arrows represent average current velocities over the four-year sampling period at the average depth of the moored autonomous sampler (32 m). b Water temperature, oxygen saturation, mixed layer depth, chlorophyll concentrations measured from mooring-attached sensors and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) derived from AQUA-MODIS satellite data. The shaded grey and yellow represent the periods of polar night and day, respectively.
