HydroChanges LION deep mooring monthly mean data

ABSTRACT : Time series of the monthly means of potential temperature, salinity and potential density recorded on the HydroChanges consecutive moorings in the Gulf of Lion (41° 59.0' N 04° 55' E) few meters above the bottom (~2320m), between 2006 and 2011. N.B.: data from 2003 to 2006 exist but moorings are yet to be recovered. Observing strategy Mooring with 1 Seacat SBE37 and usually one currentmeter. Seacat SBE37 fitted with pump and pressure sensor for accurate computation of the salinity, and mostly sent to recalibration at SeaBird after their deployment.
