Description

Summary

Data were collected within the framework of multidisciplinary studies aimed at investigating the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the Adriatic/Ionian basin. In chosen stations, samples from the water column were collected from Niskin bottles at standard or selected depth; samples for TSM, POC, PTN and Pigments were filtered with glass fiber filters and stored at -20 C.
