Currents Measurements from DeepLev mooring station

DOI

Current velocity measurements Collected in the Southeastern Levantine Basin in the 1500m deep DeepLev mooring station, were processed and presented to support a research on particulate organic carbon (POC) export at this highly oligotrophic basin. The currents dataset covers the period of May 2017 to November 2021 and includes selected depths over the rage of 50-1300m. These observations, combined with others not included in this dataset, highlight the importance of winter storm intensity in the POC budget of marginal seas like the Levantine Basin even in areas with limited river discharge. This further suggests that the anticipated increase in extreme weather events due to the on-going climate change should have an impact on this coastal-deep sea conveyor and on POC export in the Levantine Basin.
