Biological, chemical, current measurements, in situ, meteorological, optical, physical, and profile oceanographic data were collected, including AIR TEMPERATURE, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, CARBON - ORGANIC - SEDIMENT, CARBON - TOTAL PARTICULATE - SEDIMENT, CURRENT DIRECTION, CURRENT SPEED, CURRENT SPEED - EAST/WEST COMPONENT (U), CURRENT SPEED - NORTH/SOUTH COMPONENT (V), CURRENT SPEED - UP/DOWN COMPONENT (W), DEPTH - OBSERVATION, DEWPOINT, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, FLUORESCENCE, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, OXYGEN - PERCENT SATURATION, PARTICULATE ORGANIC CARBON, PARTICULATE ORGANIC NITROGEN (PON), RELATIVE HUMIDITY, SALINITY, SEDIMENTS, SEDIMENTS - ORGANIC CARBON, SEDIMENTS - TOTAL CARBON, WATER TEMPERATURE, WAVE HEIGHT - SIGNIFICANT, WAVE PERIOD, WIND DIRECTION, WIND SPEED, partial pressure of carbon dioxide - water, and suspended solids from moored buoys at the Dynamique des Flux Atmospheriques en Mediterranee (DYFAMED) using ADCP, C-T recorder, CTD - moored CTD, anemometer, barometer, fluorometer, meteorological sensor, pressure sensor, thermistor, trap - sediment, and wave sensor from 1995-06-12 to 2024-06-29. These data were provided to one of the OceanSITES Data Assembly Centers (DAC). The DAC formatted this information into the OceanSITES file format and passed it on to the Global Data Assembly Centers (GDAC). This dataset includes all of the data that has been provided to NCEI for this site.

OceanSITES is a worldwide system of long-term, open-ocean reference stations measuring dozens of variables and monitoring the full depth of the ocean from air-sea interactions down to the seafloor. It is a network of stations or observatories measuring many aspects of the ocean's surface and water column using, where possible, automated systems with advanced sensors and telecommunications systems, yielding high time resolution, often in real-time, while building a long record.
