RV CIROLANA 01/1998 High Resolution Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) Data

The data in this archive were collected from CEFAS (Or DFR) research cruises. 
They broadly cover the European Shelf with some data from the Iberian Abyssal 
Plain. Data were collected using the lowered CTD rosette system which is used 
when the vessel is stationary. Usually bottles were fired at particular depths 
and samples taken for calibration. In early years only a limited set of 
parameters were collected. Notably Pressure (Depth), Temperature and 
Conductivity (CTD). From Conductivity Salinity can be calculated using the 
UNESCO 1978,1983 formulations . In subsequent years more sensors have been 
added, notably fluorometers, Optical back scatter or transmissometers and 
Light (PAR, photo synthetically available radiation). The exact configuration 
varies between cruises and this is reflected in the data format of the output 
files.

Data was collected from research vessels on station, a profile from the 
surface to near the sea bed is undertaken. The down cast data should be a 
clean profile. Water bottles for sample collection and calibration are fired 
on the up cast.

Survey : TELL/07/1969 (part of CEFAS Historic surveys)

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the CEFAS Historic surveys;

Station and biological data collected during research surveys carried out by 
Cefas (formerly Directorate of Fisheries) in seas around the UK, mostly in the 
North Sea, since 1902. The survey hauls are not laid out systematically as a 
grid, as in current International Bottom Trawl Surveys (IBTS) and are widely 
distributed over (especially) southern and central North Sea areas. Gears and 
protocols were not standardised throughout, due to the long term nature of the 
series. Surveys took place in each season. Data are lacking for the periods of 
both World Wars. In some periods (e.g. the early 1900s), all species caught 
were recorded, whereas in other periods (e.g. 1920s-30s), only the key 
commercial species (e.g., Plaice, Sole and Cod) were recorded systematically. 
Note that some surveys targeted particular species (notably Plaice).

Survey took place between 03/09/1969 and 12/09/1969 on Tellina

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Otter trawl Codend catch

Survey operations were undertaken on 47 stations

25 different species were caught on this survey

Model validation and finfish farms modelling output data in Kuwait Bay 2017-2019

This data refers to a numerical model validation, in Kuwait Bay, for both the 
hydrodynamics and the biogeochemistry. Also, there is a dataset regarding finfish 
farms modelling.

Different types of data have been used for the model set up and observations for the 
model validation:

Physical and biogeochemical observations: data from the Kuwait Environment Public 
Authority (KEPA) at various monitoring stations for more than 30 years, as part of 
KEPA’s long-term water quality monitoring programme (`http://www.emisk.org/emisk/`_
). Tidal velocities and water levels collected by the Kuwait Institute for Scientific 
Research (KISR). 

Bathymetry data: was the same as used by Bacon et al. (2014), which was based on 
compilation of a single beam bathymetry survey conducted in May 2014, by the authors, 
and complemented with digitised sections of a hydrographic chart of the area (Mina Az 
Zawr to Al Basrah and Bushehr-UKHO2884) (www.toddchart.com).

Tidal forcing: was obtained from the OTPS regional product for the Persian Gulf at 
1/60 degrees resolution (`http://volkov.oce.orst.edu/tides/PerS.html`_)

Temperature and Salinity: data from the global ECMWF reanalysis model ORAP5.0, which 
can be downloaded from 
`http://icdc.cen.uni-hamburg.de/1/projekte/easy-init/easy-init-ocean.html?no_cache=1`_
.

Meteorological forcing: obtained from the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather 
Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA-Interim.
