ADRIATIC SEA

Dissolved oxygen parameters in the water column; Salinity of the water column; Temperature of the water column

CTD

During ADRICOSM a network of coastal monitoring stations measuring: depth, temperature, conductivity (salinity) and oxygen profiles was upgraded. During the project the sampling interval was chosen to be two weeks during the pre-operational period and one week during the operational period. For ADRICOSM-EXT combined collection of CTD and ADCP data were carried out in monthly time scale in the four traditional CTD coastal monitoring networks of ADRICOSM project. ADRICOSM-EXT continued and enlarged the research and development work of ADRICOSM and coordinated activities between Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia-Montenegro. The Rovinj coastal area was managed by RBI CMR Ruder Boskovic Institute, Center for Marine Research (Rovinj, Croatia) (N 44 40' - N 45 20' ; E 14 12' - E 14 48'). A copy of data is recorded at OGS that is the Italian National Oceanographic Data Center.
