Title of datasetTemperature, salinity, density, dissolved oxygen, and fluorescence along a section in Qatar
Narrative summary of datasetHydrographic conditions along a northeastern section off the eastern coast of Qatar Peninsula, Arabian Gulf were measured seasonally for the first time. Six sampling stations, along a 105-km section perpendicular to the major axis of the Gulf, were visited five times within one year (October 2012, January 2013, April 2013, June 2013, and August 2013) to investigate seasonal and spatial variations in hydrographic conditions of Qatar’s exclusive economic zone. 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.
