EMSO Generic Instrument Module (EGIM) Data at 200m Jun-Oct 2022 in front of Cape St. Vincent, Sagres PT

DOI

Until today the availability of in-situ oceanographic data is sparse due to high costs of vessels and instruments. Yet, in-situ observations play a major role in model validation and other purposes. Therefore, monitoring and observation platforms are highly important for the scientific community and decision makers. In the frame of the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory (EMSO-ERIC) an EMSO Generic Instrument Module (EGIM) was deployed at 200 m depth from the R/V Mário Ruivo during the EMSO-PT Leg 2 Campaign, in collaboration with the Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA), at the edge of the continental slope, 10 nm south of Cape St. Vincente, the SW tip of the Iberian Peninsula ( 36.84549 N, -8.927083 E) during June - October 2022 (2022-05-31T18:00:00Z to 2022-10-06T12:00:00Z). The dataset contains water column (bottom) parameters. Sensors include: SeaBird SBE37 (Conductivity, Temperature), Aanderaa 4831dw (optical dissolved oxygen), RBR Quartz 3 BPR (absolute pressure), WETLabs ECO-NTU (Turbidity), OCEANSONICS icListen SB60L-ETH (passive acoustics), and Teledyne RDI 300kHz Workhorse Monitor direct-reading ADCP (ocean currents). Sampling period is: 60 minutes (ADCP), 15 minutes (CT, Turbidity, Oxygen), 30 seconds (Pressure), and 5 minutes / 1 minute recording (acoustics). Measured channels: Conductivity, Temperature, Pressure, Temperature, Dissolved O2 concentration, Turbidity, Currents, passive acoustics. Derived channels: Sea pressure, Depth, Salinity, Speed of sound, Specific conductivity, Dissolved O2 saturation, Density anomaly
