Surface currents (depth interval ca 0-0.2 m), temperature (ca 0.1 m) and salinity in the swimming track of Sognefjord Swim Challenge, 8. aug. 2009
Current measurements
| Place | Time | Current | Time | Current |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ca 150 m from Borlaug | ca 1150 | ca 1.0 km/hr inwards | ||
| Ca 500 m from Borlaug | ca 1205 | ca 1.0 km/hr inwards | ||
| The middle of the fjord | ca 1235 | ca 0,8 km/hr outwards | ||
| Ca 500 m from Nokkanes | ca 1250 | ca 1,5 km/hr outwards | ca 1320 | ca 1,5 km/hr outwards |
| Ca 150 m from Nokkanes | ca 1305 | ca 0,3 km/hr outwards | ca 1330 | ca 0,1-0,2 km/hr inwards (weak current, low precision) |
The inward currents on the Borlaug side seems to be related to the water mass with higher salinity at the south side of the fjord (se graph).
