Acoustic evaluation surveys for the study of small pelagic fish in the northern Spanish coast have been conducted since 1993. These surveys have evolved into the current multidisciplinary campaigns that provide a holistic view of ecosystems and address the objectives outlined in the European Union's Marine Strategy Framework Directive. One of the primary goals of the campaign is to determine the abundance and characteristics of the main pelagic f [...]
In this study, we aimed to clarify the taxonomic status of Belonidae species distributed in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea by conducting detailed genetic and morphological markers. A total of 550 needlefish samples were caught between January 2022 and January 2024. The data set used in the study contains a total of 171 sequences for the COI gene and 120 sequences for the 12s rRNA gene from different Belonidae species, including data fro [...]
This dataset represents the results of an oil spill simulation conducted using the Medslik-II Oil Spill Model, focusing on the environmental dynamics of a simulated oil spill event that occurred on March 24, 2019, off the southeastern coast of Brazil in the South Atlantic Ocean. The dataset includes 12 simulations, varying wind drift angles between 10° and 45°, wind drift factor of 1%, 3% and 6% and, incorporating stokes drift, to assess the impa [...]
Here we present Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) observations of the leeward of the South Caribbean island of Curaçao. The data is used to characterize the heat content, stratification and turbulent length-scales of subsurface waters, near long-term monitoring stations of mesophotic coral reefs. CTD profiles were collected at five locations, from April 12-25, 2023 in Curaçao. The sampling sites were offshore from the fringing reef, within 50 [...]
This data provides post-processed CMIP6 data. The dataset includes annually-averaged timeseries of the (1) Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and (2) northward heat transport at 26.5°N, 30°N, 35°N, 40°N, 45°N, 50°N, 55°N, and 60°N, the (3) basin-wide integrated air-sea heat fluxes in the North Atlantic north of the respective latitudes, (4) basin-wide averaged sea surface temperatures of the subpolar gyre region as defined by Caesar et a [...]
In the Mediterranean Sea, an accumulation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) is observed during the stratified summer period, which is decoupled from the spring phytoplankton maxima. We hypothesize that DOM composition in summer changes its composition, from labile DOM in spring to recalcitrant prokaryote-derived compounds during the summer accumulation period. To test this, we tracked the seasonality of DOM molecular composition and chemical dive [...]
This dataset reports the results of an experiment on the impacts of ocean warming and food ration on the fecundity of the sea star Asterias rubens. Males and females were acclimated for 26 weeks (from October 2nd 2023 to April 1st 2024 included) either to +0°C or +3°C compared to the usual seasonal temperature, and either to 1 or 3 mussels per sea star twice a week, in a controlled laboratory environment. Biometric parameters (body weight, arm le [...]
A 6-year simulation of the coastal ocean and adjacent deep sea of the northeast U.S. continental shelf has been computed using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) coupled to a biogeochemical (BGC) model of nitrogen and carbon cycling. The simulation covers the period 1-Jan-2007 to 30-Dec-2013 on a 7-km horizonal grid with 40 vertical terrain-following s-coordinate levels. The physical circulation model is as described by Lopez et al. (202 [...]
This dataset contains acoustic data collected with scientific echosounders in the North Est Atlantic Ocean in Porcupine Abyssal Plain (PAP) during a cruise performed onboard the French R/V THALASSA in une and july 2023 in the framework of the program APERO (ANR)
This dataset contains seven netcdf files that can be used, inter alia, to run the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) model with a parameterization for internal wave-driven mixing and geothermal forcing at the seafloor activated. - Four files (with names including ‘zdfiwm_forcing_’) contain six two-dimensional (longitude, latitude) fields that are read by the ‘zdfiwm.F90’ routine of NEMO. These fields are provided on the ORCA2, eO [...]
