The collection period ranges from August 2007 through July 2008.</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> The series is complete and continue through all period of measurement, without gap of data or relevant sensor problem.</p>
