Temperature records from the FF Mooring in the Southern Adriatic Sea from 2012 to 2025

This data set comprises 43 files in NetCDF format, containing temperature data from mooring site FF in the Southern Adriatic Sea measured at 700 and 717 m depth. The data collected with the SBE56 temperature sensor covers the period from 2012 to 2025. The stand-alone moorings are equipped with a suite of sensors that measure physical and biogeochemical properties within the last 100 meters of the water column. These moorings have been configured and maintained for continuous long-term monitoring. The moorings are part of the Southern Adriatic Submarine Observatory of the EMSO-ERIC European Consortium and remain operational. The metadata associated with this dataset comply with EMSO metadata specifications. The moorings are supported by a grant from Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia within the framework of the Joint Research Unit EMSO Italia. This funding is part of the resources allocated by the Italian Ministry of University and Research for international activities related to the European Research Infrastructure EMSO, as well as a grant from the Ufficio Programmazione e Grant Office of CNR-Italy (CNR-UPGO). This version maintains clarity and precision while adhering to scientific conventions. Since 2023 the observatory has been funded also by EU - Next Generation EU Mission 4, Component 2 - CUP B53C22002150006 - Project IR0000032 – ITINERIS - Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System.
