Data sets

CTD profiles in western Sardinia (2000 - 2004), western Mediterranean A. Ribotti, M. Di Bitetto, M. Borghini, and R. Roberto https://doi.org/10.17882/59867

Short summary

From May 2000 to January 2004 seven cruises in the Sea of Sardinia collected physical, chemical and biological data. They contributed to knowledge of the local circulation and its interaction with the general Mediterranean one. Accurate and sustained quality assurance for physical sensors was ensured through pre- and postcruise calibration (described here) and verified during cruises by redundant sensors and instruments. Hydrological data are in two open-access datasets in the SEANOE repository.
