The census of the Italian marine malacofauna took shape in 1982 by a group of researchers: Daniele Bedulli, Bruno Dell'Angelo, Piero Piani and Gianni Spada with a publication in the Bollettino di Malacologia (Bedulli D., Dell'Angelo B., Piani P., Spada G. 1982. Project for the census of the Italian marine malacofauna. Bollettino Malacologico, 18, 85-94). Subsequently, Filippo Bassignani, Vincenzo Iacono and Bruno Sabelli collaborated on the proje [...]
This dataset contains all satellite altimeter wave heights above 9 m, from the following satellite missions: ERS-1, ERS-2, Topex-Poseidon (Topex only), Envisat, SARAL, Jason-1, Jason-2, Jason-3, Sentinel-3A, Sentinel-3B, Sentinel-6A, Cryosat-2, CFOSAT, SWOT. Storm event identification used the DetectHsStorm package developed by M. De Carlo and F. Ardhuin ( https://github.com/ardhuin/) . This data can be combined with modeled storm tracks (see F. [...]
We built a trait database of 385 phytoplankton taxa recorded in five Atlantic bays in France between 2009 and 2018. We focused on seven traits known or potentially expected to be determinant for bivalve molluscs nutrition, including morphological traits such as maximum cell size, shape and cover (i.e. cell wall structure), the ability to form colonies, presence of spicules, ecological (habitat) and physiological (harmfulness) traits. The database [...]
Málaga Real-Time Observatory (MARETO) is an underwater observatory equipped with sensors that enable the real-time collection of oceanographic data for different studies. The infrastructure consists of a surface buoy with a submerged structure, which contains critical equipment. Among the instruments included in the system are an AquaDoppler for measuring water currents up to 12 m below the surface, a MaxiMet meteorological station for recording [...]
These storm tracks were obtained from tracking the maxima of significant wave heights. The method was adapted from storm tracking methods that typically use sea level pressure.
The time series consist of trajectory data and sea surface temperature collected by a number of drifters released in six different deployments between 2012 and 2016. The drifters, which were procured through the CALYPSO project, were deployed in the channel between Malta and Sicily and the data collected was used to validate the sea surface currents measured by the HF radar network installed within the same project. CALYPSO was partly financed by [...]
This dataset is associated with the article "Spatial Variability of Marine Heatwaves in the Chesapeake Bay". The data contain characteristics and long term trends of marine heatwaves in the Chesapeake Bay, calculated using the included Geo-Polar Blended Sea Surface Temperature (SST). Also included are the source SST datasets and in situ data used for satellite SST validaion. Included satellite datasets are: NASA Multi-scale Ultra-high Resolution [...]
The ICES Working Group on Fisheries Benthic Impact and Trade-offs (WGFBIT) has developed an assessment framework based on the life history trait longevity, to evaluate the benthic impact of fisheries at the regional scale. In order to apply this framework to the Mediterranean sea, several Mediterranean longevity databases were merged together with existing North-East Atlantic ones to develop a common database. Longevity was fuzzy coded into four [...]
Profile data of physical oceanography (temperature, pressure, salinity) were obtained from APEX floats 9223 and 9224 along Dronning Maud Land and Coats Land in the southern Weddell Sea from March 2022 - February 2023. The APEX floats were deployed during the Hybrid Antarctic Float Observing System (HAFOS) in the Weddell Sea on expedition PS129 with POLARSTERN. The attached archive contains raw/unprocessed data telemetered directly from the floats [...]
An automated flow cytometer, CytoSub (Cytobuoy b.v., Netherlands), was deployed twice in conjunction with the MAREL Carnot station (COAST-HF network, IR ILICO) during spring 2021 and the spring-summer period of 2022. This high-frequency instrument continuously sampled the surface coastal waters of Boulogne-sur-Mer every two hours, enabling the identification of eleven phytoplankton functional groups, along with their abundances and associated opt [...]
