In situ, meteorological, navigational, physical and profile data collected by Italian National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics; Experimental Geophysical Observatory at OceanSITES site E2M3A from 2002-09-16 to 2009-10-13 (NCEI Accession 0130031)

In situ, meteorological, navigational, physical and profile oceanographic data were collected, including AIR TEMPERATURE, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, CONDUCTIVITY, DEPTH - OBSERVATION, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, RELATIVE HUMIDITY, SALINITY, SOUND VELOCITY, WATER TEMPERATURE and WIND SPEED from Moored Buoy at the Mediterranean Moored Multi-sensor Array, Eastern Basin, southern Adriatic Sea (E2M3A) using CTD - moored CTD, anemometer, barometers, meteorological sensors and thermistor from 2002-09-16 to 2009-10-13. These data were provided to one of the OceanSITES Data Assembly Centers (DAC). The DAC formatted this information into the OceanSITES file format and passed it on to the Global Data Assembly Centers (GDAC).

OceanSITES is a worldwide system of long-term, open-ocean reference stations measuring dozens of variables and monitoring the full depth of the ocean from air-sea interactions down to the seafloor. It is a network of stations or observatories measuring many aspects of the ocean's surface and water column using, where possible, automated systems with advanced sensors and telecommunications systems, yielding high time resolution, often in real-time, while building a long record.

本数据集采集了原位、气象、导航、物理及剖面海洋学数据，观测时段为2002年9月16日至2009年10月13日，数据采集自亚得里亚海南部东盆地地中海锚定多传感器阵列（E2M3A）的锚定浮标，采用锚定温盐深仪（CTD）、风速计、气压计、气象传感器及热敏电阻进行观测，采集参数涵盖气温、气压、电导率、观测深度、纬度、经度、相对湿度、盐度、声速、水温与风速。上述数据已提交至海洋观测站综合服务系统（OceanSITES）数据汇编中心（Data Assembly Centers, DAC）之一，该中心将数据整理为OceanSITES标准文件格式后，转交给全球数据汇编中心（Global Data Assembly Centers, GDAC）。
海洋观测站综合服务系统（OceanSITES）是一套全球性长期开放海洋参考站系统，可测量数十项环境变量，监测从海-气相互作用直至海底的全海洋深度剖面。该网络由多个观测站或观测台站组成，在条件允许的情况下采用搭载先进传感器与通信系统的自动化设备，对海洋表层及水柱的多项特征进行监测，可获取高时间分辨率数据（通常为实时数据）并构建长期连续观测序列。
