Description
- Summary
- Oceanographic data from the southern Tyrrhenian Sea - The primary purpose was to investigate the late summer water-mass variability and the interior flow structure on the Sardinia-Sicily opening. Instruments are calibrated and intercalibrated on a regular basis in the SACLANTCEN. Derivation of salinity and density values from temperature and conductivity is carried out according to UNESCO standard algorithms. Standard meteorological observations complete the station records.
