Title of datasetOceanographic dataset in the Mediterranean Sea collected during the cruise BioArgoMed 2015
Narrative summary of datasetTwo quality controlled datasets here archived were collected during the oceanographic cruise BioArgoMed that held in Spring 2015 over the whole Mediterranean Sea, onboard R/V Tethys 2. The first datset is composed of continuous vertical profiles of the 14 downcasts performed during the seven stations. The profiles have a resolution of 1dbar. The quality controlled parameters reported in this data set are: pressure (PRES in dbar), in-situ temperature (TEMP in °C), practical salinity (PSAL), dissolved oxygen concentration (OXYGEN in µmol/kg), fluorescence of chlorophyll-a (FCHL in mg/m3), amplitude of zonal current (UVEL in m/s), amplitude of the meridional current (VVEL in m/s), amplitude of error velocity (UERR in m/s). The second dataset is composed of discrete samples collected during the 14 upcasts performed during the seven stations. The quality controlled parameters are: pressure (CTD_PRES in dbar), in-situ temperature (CTD_TEMP in °C), practical salinity (CTD_PSAL), potential density anomaly referenced at surface (CTD_DENS in kg/m3), dissolved oxygen concentration measured by the electrochemical sensor (CTD_OXY in µmol/kg), fluorescence of chlorophyll-a (CTD_FCHL in mg/m3), dissolved oxygen concentration measured by the Winkler method (OXYGEN in µmol/kg), concentration of silicate (SILICAT in µmol/L), concentration of phosphate (PHSPHT in µmol/L) , concentration of nitrite (NITRIT in µmol/L), concentration of nitrate (NITRAT in µmol/L), concentration of pigments (processed by HPLC). The two datasets were collected in concomitancy with the deployment of BGC-Argo floats (WMO numbers : 6901764, 6901765, 6901766, 6901767, 6901768, 6901769, 6901771, 6901773).
