Summary: | In Summer 2015 (4-31 August), CNR-ISMAR carried out an oceanographic field-study in the Western Mediterranean Sea, on board of R/V MINERVA UNO. Sampling stations consisted in 7 transects, that spanned from Sicily Channel to Ligurian sea, Catalan sea, and Balearic Basin, dividing the area in sub-basins. 92 stations were visited totally. The dataset includes 550 discrete data of carbonate chemistry (pH-total scale and Total Alkalinity), concentrations of dissolved oxygen, and basic hydrological data (temperature, salinity and density). Methods: At each station, pressure (dbar), temperature (°C), and conductivity(mS/cm) were measured with a CTD SBE 911 plus General Oceanics Rosette System, equipped with 24 12-litres Niskin Bottles. Salinity (S, psu) and depth (m) were calculated by Sea-Bird Scientific routines. Seawater samples (n = 550) for the determination of biogeochemical parameters were collected from the Niskin bottles. Samples for dissolved oxygen (DO) were drawn in 60-mL BOD bottles and treated with ... |
