Vida buoy temperature, salinity and wind measurements

The csv files contain measurements of surface and bottom temperature (°C), salinity and wind speed (m/s). These data contain measurements from 2002 until the end of 2023. Vida (https://www.nib.si/mbp/en/oceanographic-data-and-measurements/buoy-2) is located in the Gulf of Trieste, 2 km offshore north-west from the cape Madona and the town of Piran (45° 32.925' N, 13° 33.042' E). The wind is measured using a 3D sonic anemometer WindMaster Pro from Gill Instruments, which is mounted on the buoy 5 m above sea level. A SeaBird SBE 16plus SEACAT CTD is mounted at 2.5 m depth and a Nortec AWAC AST 600 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) with a temperature sensor is located at the bottom (22 m depth) in close vicinity. The ADCP is mounted to a tripod 0.5 m above the bottom. All the instruments are regularly cleaned and the CTD is calibrated every 6 months.  These data were used in the preparation of the following manuscript:   Fabio Giordano, Matjaž Ličer, Stefano Querin, Stefano Salon, and Martin Vodopivec: “Hidden Heat: The case of 2023 Gulf of Trieste Bottom Marine Heatwave”
