Dead Sea buoy measurements in September 2015

The dataset includes in-situ 20-minute measurements of subsurface water temperature taken at the following depths: 1 m, 2 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, and 20 m in the Dead Sea, at the hydrometeorological buoy (31.42 oN; 35.44 oE), anchored in the Dead Sea, during the period (1 – 30 September 2015). The dataset also includes meteorological measurements taken at the same site, such as air temperature, wind speed, and solar radiation (0.3 – 2.5 µm). The aforementioned meteorological measurements were taken at a height of 2-3 m above the sea surface. For measuring the incoming solar radiation (0.3–2.5 µm) we have used the Solar Radiation Sensor 2770. The sensor specifications are available online at https://www.aanderaa.com/media/pdfs/Solar-Radiation-Sensor-2770.pdf . The sensor accuracy is better than ±20 W m-2, and its resolution is 4 W m-2. For measuring water temperature, we have used SBE 39 string temperature sensors. The sensor specifications are available online at (https://www.seabird.com/sbe-39plus-with-plastic-housing-no-pressure-sensor-mcbh-connector-external-thermistor/product?id=54627895107&callback=pf ). The water temperature accuracy is ± 0.002 (-5 to +35 °C); ± 0.01 (+35 to +45 °C). Measurements at the Dead sea buoy are associated with the Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research (https://isramar.ocean.org.il/isramar2009/DeadSea/Default.aspx ).
