CTD and LADCP data from the KM3NET cruise, Ionian Sea, July 2007

This dataset contains CTD and LADCP profiles acquired simultaneously at 38 stations, plus an additional 5 CTD profiles acquired at as many stations, in July 2007 during a research cruise aboard the R/V Urania, conducted within the framework of the KM3NeT project (https://www.km3net.org/). Hydrological stations were distributed over a wide area of the northwestern Ionian Sea, including strategic sites for the KM3NeT (Neutrino Telescope) infrastructure.
CTD data were acquired from the sea surface to the bottom by using a SBE911-plus calibrated before the cruise at the NATO center in La Spezia and were processed with Seasave Win32 V 5.37b, following the standard procedure suggested by the manufacturer. LADCP profiles were collected in a subset of stations using a dual-head system installed on the rosette made of two RDI BB/WH 300 kHz instruments looking upward and downward respectively. The instruments have been preset to acquire 20 bins with size 10.00 m and the LADCP data were processed using the LDEO LADCP software Version IX.13 (https://github.com/athurnherr/LDEO_IX/releases/tag/IX_13), using CTD and respective GPS fixes as auxiliary data.
The dataset is provided as three ODV spreadsheets in TXT format, one for CTD and the others for LADCP, LAD and BOT, where LAD is the absolute velocity profile, from the surface to the bottom, and BOT is the profile of bottom-tracked ocean velocities near the seabed.
