General

Dataset Name: Physical oceanography and climatological data in Gulf of Trieste (N Adriatic Sea) 1979-84
Data Holding Centre: University of Trieste, Department of Earth Science, Oceanography and Meteorology
Time Period: from 1979 to 1984
Start Date: 1979-01-01
End Date: 1984-12-31
Project

Parameters: Temperature of the water column; Salinity of the water column; Horizontal velocity of the water column (currents); Secchi disk depth; Density of the water column; Visible waveband radiance and irradiance measurements in the water column
Instruments

Summary: THALASSIA II - CTD, marine current, underwater irradiance and Secchi disc data are measured at a number of points in the Gulf of Trieste. CTD vertical profiles are taken during different days representing typical local weather conditions, for a total of 147 stations in the period 1979-1984. The vertical resolution is 1 m; the mean depth is 20 m. Instruments were accurately calibrated and checked.
