The collection period ranges from November 2009 through July July 2010.</p> <p><b>Purpose:</b> CTD and turbidity meter have been used in order to monitoring possible variations of bottom sea water masses in an area strongly interested by the mixing of different water masses (Mediterranean and Atlantic waters). Turbidity measurement also provides information about possible resuspension of particle matter due to bottom currents.</p> <p><b>Quality of data:</b> </p>
