This included supraglacial streams and proglacial watercourses from the moraines to the coast (0-5 km in length). Temperature and conductivityin freshwaterwere measured with a portable Conductivity-Meter (LF325, WTW). For chemical parameters, a 10 L carboy was submerged in streams until the bubbles were removed. Subsamples were then collected using a silicone tube for the determination of nutrients, DOC, DON, DIC, pH and TA.

Short‐term weather patterns were found to exert a strong influence on freshwater content within the fjord. Freshwater inputs from glacier runoff and ice meltwater averaged (±SD) low nitrate (1.85 ± 0.47 μM; 0.41 ± 0.99 μM), orthophosphate (0.07 ± 0.27 μM; 0.02 ± 0.03 μM), dissolved organic carbon (27 ± 14 μM in glacier runoff), total alkalinity (708 ± 251 μmol kg−1; 173 ± 121 μmol kg−1), and dissolved inorganic carbon (622 ± 108 μmol kg−1; 41 ± 88 μmol kg−1), as well as a modest silicate concentration (3.71 ± 0.02 μM; 3.16 ± 5.41 μM). pCO2 showed a nonconservative behavior across the estuarine salinity gradient with a pronounced undersaturation in the inner‐fjord, leading to strong CO2 uptake from the atmosphere. The combined effect of...

We partition the fresh water between meteoric water sources and sea ice melt or brine formation using the δ18O of sea water. The sections illustrate the presence of the East Greenland Coastal Current (EGCC) close to shore east of Cape Farewell. West of Cape Farewell, it partially joins the shelf break, with a weaker near‐surface remnant of the EGCC observed on the shelf southwest and west of Cape Farewell. The EGCC traps the freshest waters close to Greenland and carries a brine signature below 50‐m depth. The cruises illustrate a strong increase in meteoric water of the shelf upper layer (by more than a factor 2) between early May and late June, likely to result from East and South Greenland spring melt. There was also a contribution of sea ice melt near the surface but with large variability...
