Title of datasetMedFever : An expanding network of citizen-run observatories monitoring shallow coastal underwater temperatures in Italy
Narrative summary of datasetMedFever – An expanding network of 12 small observatories was established in the Tyrrhenian Sea in 2021 by MedSharks and ENEA, building on the experience of an observation point established in 2016 in the Gulf of Naples.  Very high frequency measurements (15 minutes) at some standard depths (5-15-35m; occasionally at 10-20-25-30-50-60m) were obtained by voluntary diving centers using calibrated HOBO sensors (after calibration accuracy is about ±0.1 °C) in 12 stations evenly covering the Tyrrhenian sea. Due to various technical problems, some records are missing. The dataset proposed here will be upgraded annually. Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.
