Conductivity, temperature, and pressure data were collected from the sea bottom by a SBE 16plus device. Measurements were taken at the INGV/SN-4 platform in the Marmara Sea as part of the ESONET-MARMARA-DM project. The data were contributed by SCIOPS and last updated in March 2010.
Use Cases
- Analyze temporal patterns in sea bottom conductivity and temperature from the SBE 16plus sensor.
- Correlate pressure data with tidal cycles or seismic activity in the Marmara Sea region.
- Validate and calibrate oceanographic models using in-situ measurements from the SN-4 station.
- Study the stability and performance of long-term seafloor monitoring equipment within the EMSO network.
Strengths
- Data collected by a specific, known instrument model (SBE 16plus).
- Part of a major international monitoring project (ESONET-MARMARA-DM) and network (EMSO).
- Provides concurrent measurements of three key oceanographic variables.
Limitations
- Dataset size, row count, and temporal resolution beyond '1 sample / 10 min' are unknown.
- Data is over a decade old (last updated 2010), limiting analysis of recent conditions.
- Geographic scope is limited to a single station (SN-4) in the Marmara Sea.
