Pressure, temperature, conductivity, and derived salinity data with their associated quality flags from the Vigo section of the monitoring program "Oceanography Time Series in Northern Spain" (RADIALES; https://www.seriestemporales-ieo.net/), carried out by the Instituto Español de Oceanografía. Data were collected biweekly to monthly from August 1987 to September 2020 in the interior of the Ría de Vigo and its adjacent shelf, at four stations with depths ranging from 29 m to 148 m. Data were acquired using MARK III, Sea-Bird Scientific 19 SeaCAT, SBE 9 Plus and SBE 25 Sealogger CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth) profilers. They were processed using Sea-Bird Scientific's Seasoft software package, and subsequently, quality controlled with both ctdcheck (https://github.com/PabloOtero/CTDChecker) and Ocean Data View software.

A detailed description of the dataset can be found in: Otero et al. (Submitted). Temperature and salinity vertical profiles (CTD) data in the Ría de Vigo and adjacent shelf collected in the Radiales Program, 1987-2020. Data in Brief.

These data have been recorded on board several research vessels. We express our sincere thanks to the crew of RV J.M. Naváz, B/O Ramón Margalef and B/O Ángeles Alvariño. We are grateful to many colleagues who made this dataset possible. Particular mention goes to Dr. J.M. Cabanas and Ana Miranda, who maintained the scientific instrumentation and processed and carefully archived CTD data for many years. Many thanks also to Antonio Bode, who led the monitoring program for many years. This dataset is part of the “Series temporales de oceanografia en el norte de España” monitoring program (RADIALES; https://www.seriestemporales-ieo.net/) maintained and financed by the Centro Nacional Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO, CSIC).
