  • Beschreibung: Abstract. The Green Edge project was designed to investigate the onset,life, and fate of a phytoplankton spring bloom (PSB) in the Arctic Ocean.The lengthening of the ice-free period and the warming of seawater, amongstother factors, have induced major changes in Arctic Ocean biology over thelast decades. Because the PSB is at the base of the Arctic Ocean food chain,it is crucial to understand how changes in the Arctic environment willaffect it. Green Edge was a large multidisciplinary, collaborative projectbringing researchers and technicians from 28 different institutions in sevencountries together, aiming at understanding these changes and their impactson the future. The fieldwork for the Green Edge project took place overtwo years (2015 and 2016) and was carried out from both an ice camp and aresearch vessel in Baffin Bay, in the Canadian Arctic. This paper describesthe sampling strategy and the dataset obtained from the research cruise,which took place aboard the Canadian Coast Guard ship (CCGS) Amundsen in latespring and early summer 2016. The sampling strategy was designed around therepetitive, perpendicular crossing of the marginal ice zone (MIZ), using notonly ship-based station discrete sampling but also high-resolutionmeasurements from autonomous platforms (Gliders, BGC-Argofloats …) and under-way monitoring systems. The dataset isavailable at https://doi.org/10.17882/86417 (Bruyant et al., 2022).
