Moored current and temperature measurements in a submarine canyon of the Eastern Ligurian Sea, November 2020-October 2022

this data set includes n.5 files containing observational data of a stand-alone mooring, at about 600 m depth along the levante canyon of the eastern ligurian sea (44°05.443’n, 9°29.900’e, western mediterranean). the time series covers the period from november 2020 to october 2022. the dataset includes measurements conducted with two current meters (adcp rdi quartermaster and nortek continental) and three ctd probes (sbe37), and provides information about the hydrodynamics and thermohaline properties across almost the entire water column. the mooring is configured and maintained for continuous long-term monitoring being in a particular deep-sea area (about 600 m water depth), that acts as a hot-spot of biodiversity, hosting valuable and vulnerable ecosystems, such as the deep-living cold-water corals. data are described in the data paper ciuffardi et al.: deep water hydrodynamic observations around a cold-water coral habitat in a submarine canyon in the eastern ligurian sea (mediterranean sea), earth syst. sci. data discuss.

本数据集包含5份观测数据文件，记录了独立系泊装置在东利古里亚海勒万特峡谷约600米深处的相关数据（纬度44°05.443’，经度9°29.900’，位于西地中海）。时间序列覆盖了从2020年11月至2022年10月。数据集涵盖了使用两种流速仪（RDI Quartermaster ADCP和Nortek Continental）以及三种CTD探头（SBE37）进行的测量，并提供了关于整个水柱中水文动力和热盐性质的详细信息。该系泊装置在特定深海区域（约600米水深）进行配置和维护，以实现持续长期监测，该区域是生物多样性的热点，孕育着宝贵且易受损害的生态系统，如深海冷水珊瑚。数据详情见数据论文Ciuffardi等：《东利古里亚海海底峡谷冷水珊瑚栖息地周围的水文动力学观测》（地中海），地球系统科学数据讨论[预印本]，https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-2022-466，待审稿，2023。
