| Country | Italy  |
| Time period | July 1978 and March/April 1979 |
| Ongoing | No |
| Geographical area | 4 moorings (1978) and 1 mooring (1979) in the Venice Lagoon near the mouth of Malamocco, NE Italy |

| Description | |
| Summary | The marine current data were collected in the framework of a research program scheduled to reach a good knowledge of the fluxes in the inner part of the mouth of Malamocco. The moorings were deployed with 1, 2 or 3 current meters. 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 52 current meter days. |
