Environmental Monitoring Metadata from Korean Coastal Waters (2021)

This dataset includes monthly mean values of environmental parameters collected from coastal stations in South Korea between May and December 2022. Variables include temperature (°C), salinity (PSU), dissolved oxygen (mg/L), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN, µM), phosphate (DIP, µM), dissolved organic carbon (DOC, mg/L), and chlorophyll-a (µg/L). Data were collected using YSI EXO2 sensors and nutrient analyzers, and processed for quality control using standardized oceanographic protocols. This dataset supports the analysis of seasonal and spatial variability of marine environmental conditions in Korean coastal waters.
