Northern part of the Curonian Lagoon since 1993 (data set limits: 55 16 - 55 44N; 21 01 - 21 17E)

Temperature variation in the water column; Temperature of the water column

Water temperature sensor

The aim of the research is to analyse thermal regime and its peculiarities in the Curonian Lagoon. Water temperature is an important hydrological characteristic, which have an impact to physical-chemical as well as to biological processes going in the Lagoon. In accordance with the national Curonian Lagoon monitoring programme water temperature investigations is carried every month in surface and bottom water layers. The research is carried out in the north part of the Lagoon which belongs to Lithuania by the expedition cutter 'Gintaras'. The data are fully quality controlled. Systematic certification of laboratories, participation in international intercalibrations, internal control, introduced managing system for research' quality determine quality of data. All data is stored in archive (written form) and the data from 1993 also is saved on hard disk.
