Dataset Name: Project ALPE ADRIA: hydrographic (plus chemistry) station data in N Adriatic Sea (1990-92)
Data Holding Centre: University of Trieste, Department of Biology
Time Period: from March 1990 to November 1992 (available data period at present: until October 1992 for hydrographic data; until November 1991 for chemical data)

Project

Geocoverage: 73 standard stations (64 stations on 7 transects) for hydrographic data and approximately 38 stations for chemical data, covering the Northern Adriatic Sea
Geographic Box (south,north,west,east): 41, 12, 18, 46
Sea Area: Mediterranean Sea; Adriatic Sea

Parameters: Phaeopigment concentrations in the water column; Salinity of the water column; Temperature of the water column; Alkalinity, acidity and pH of the water column; Chlorophyll pigment concentrations in the water column; Dissolved oxygen parameters in the water column; Partial pressure (pCO2) and fugacity (fCO2) of carbon dioxide in the water column
Instruments: fluorometers; pH sensors; salinometers; CTD; discrete water samplers; spectrophotometers; titrators; bench fluorometers

Summary: ALPE ADRIA, monitoring of hydrographic and biological features related with the impact of mucilaginous aggregates of the Northern Adriatic ecosystem - The different hydrographic and chemical features were analyzed in relation to the impact of mucilaginous aggregates on the Northern Adriatic Ecosystem. This project comprised monthly combined cruises covering the whole of the Northern Adriatic basin north of a line from Ravenna (Italy) to Lussino (Croatia), and was carried out with four vessels simultaneously. The data were collected during 9 cruises from March to October 1990, 6 cruises from June to November 1991 and 9 cruises from March to November 1992.
