Data sets

EMSO-Iberian Margin Cape St. Vincent observatory data (subsurface mooring) from Jun-Oct 2022. Sarah Rautenbach, Paulo Relvas, and Carlos Sousa https://doi.org/10.17882/94769

EMSO-Iberian Margin Cape St. Vincent observatory data (EMSO Generic Instrument Module (EGIM)) from Jun-Oct 2022. Mafalda Carapuço, Miguel Miranda, Carlos Sousa, Sarah Rautenbach, Tanya Silveira, Eduardo Silva, and Hugo Ferreira https://doi.org/10.17882/95468

Short summary

This article presents the data of a 4-month observation of the Iberian Margin Cape St. Vincent ocean observatory, in Portugal (2022), a European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory node. Three instruments at depths between 150 and 200 m collected physical/biogeochemical parameters at different spatial and temporal scales. EMSO-ERIC aims at developing strategies to enable sustainable ocean observation with regards to costs, time, and resolution.
