General | |
Data holding centre | SACLANT Undersea Research Centre |
Country | Italy ![]() |
Time period | October 1980, September 1982 |
Ongoing | No |
Geographical area | A network of about 400 stations covering the NW Tyrrhenian Sea and the area west of Sardinia |
Observations | |
Parameters | Horizontal velocity of the water column (currents); Temperature of the water column; Electrical conductivity of the water column |
Instruments | Current meters |
Description | |
Summary | The project was devoted to studying the air-sea interaction and mixed layer deepening, for useful comparison with other similar experiment and with output from numerical models. Instruments are calibrated and intercalibrated on a regular basis in the SACLANTCEN. Derivation of salinity and density values from temperature and conductivity is carried out according to UNESCO standard algorithms. Standard meteorological observations complete the station records. |
