Chlorophyll pigment concentrations in water bodies; Dissolved oxygen parameters in the water column; Nitrate concentration parameters in the water column; Nitrite concentration parameters in the water column; Salinity of the water column; Silicate concentration parameters in the water column; Temperature of the water column; Zooplankton non taxonomy-related abundance per unit volume of the water column

CTD; plankton nets; autoanalysers; current meters

Includes data from the oceanographic cruises IBIZA-90, IBIZA-391 and IBIZA-791 which were carried out between the years 1990 and 1991. This project is still being worked on. The strategy of the expeditions is based on a fast sampling of the required parameters. A network of 54 hydrographic stations, 24 of them also recorded other parameters such as dissolved oxygen, photosynthetic pigments and took samples of zooplankton. This data supports the study of the microscale, fronts, cyclonic and anticyclonic variations, upwelled waters and currents in the area.
