This dataset contains turbidity (NTU) data acquired between August 2018 and June 2019 using a Wetlabs turbidimeter (ECO-BBRTD, serial # 215R) installed horizontally at 1.5 m height at the top of the SeaMoN East frame. The sensor was not calibrated as the sizes of the natural particles are unknown. Data was acquired every 15 minutes. The instrument is part of the SeaMoN East ecological monitoring node deployed at ca 10m away from the active hydrothermal edifice Tour Eiffel.
