4 deep moorings in the zone north of the Strait of Messina in the Tyrrhenian Sea

Temperature of the water column

Unknown

The marine current data were collected in the framework of an environmental study of the current field on the sea bottom, near a pipeline, North of the Strait. The moorings were deployed with 1 current meter at 5 m from the bottom in the 1st part, and with 3 current meters (30m depth, 3m and 5m from the bottom) in the 2nd part. The time series were recorded at sampling interval of 5 minutes. The data are fully quality controlled for gaps, spikes and spurious data. The raw data are averaged over 1 hour time interval and analyzed to produce spectral analysis, tidal component and residual. The data sets are stored as a raw time series for each current meter (1 data cycle of temperature, speed and direction every 5 minutes). The complete data set consists of 350 current meter days in the 1st part and 1260 current meter days in the 2nd part.
