Title: MEDAR MEDATLAS DATABASE: Temperature, salinity, and nutrient observations collected in the Mediterranean and Black Seas as part of the MEDAR/MEDATLAS project, 1889-2000 (NCEI Accession 0000996)
Abstract: The MEDAR MEDATLAS DATABASE provides data and information compiled during the MEditerranean Data Archaeology and Rescue (MEDAR) MEDATLAS II project and Inventory of hydrological oceanographic cruises carried out in the Mediterranean and Black Sea between 1889 and 2000.

The overall objective of the EU concerted action MEDAR/MEDATLAS (MAS3-CT98-0174 & ERBIC20-CT98-0103) was to make available a comprehensive data product of such multi-disciplinary in-situ data and information in the Mediterranean and Black Sea, through a wide co-operation of the Mediterranean and Black Sea countries.
