Physical and Chemical Ocean Data from the Coast of Spain, the Balearic Islands,the Canaries and the north-western coast of Africa

The Centro Espanol de Datos Oceanograficos (CEDO) has data, chiefly physical
and chemical parameters, obtained by coastal Spanish oceanographic centres in
Santander, La Coruna, Vigo, Fuengirola, Mar Menor, Palma de Mallorca and Santa
Cruz de Tenerife. They include in particular, systematic measurements of
surface sea temperatures on seven beaches along the Spanish coast for periods
between 1956 and 1977.

CEDO also has data from about 160,000 STD, XBT and MBT stations for the
maritime areas in the vicinity of the Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic Islands
and the Canaries, obtained from the United States National Oceanographic Data
Centre and available on standard magnetic tape.

Finally, there is a file containing reference data for about 200 oceanography
campaigns carried out by Spanish vessels in the maritime zones surrounding our
country. The lists of mainly hydrological data obtained in this way are
available in a variety of formats ranging from standard magnetic tape to
printed publications.
