CTD, carbonate, and meteorological data from the LTER-Eastern Ligurian Sea Site (Italy), 2021-2025

This repository contains marine data on temperature, dissolved oxygen, pressure, practical salinity, density, conductivity, fluorescence, turbidity, chlorophyll-a, total alkalinity, and total scale pH measured at two coastal stations in the Gulf of La Spezia (Eastern Ligurian Sea): Mussel Aquaculture Buoy (MAB, 44.077130°N, 9.880829°E) outside the harbour; Tino Island (TI, 44.019788°N, 9.850245°E) in the Regional Park and outside the Gulf. The monitoring is carried out in the context of the Smart Bay S. Teresa collaboration platform (https://smartbaysteresa.com/). Biogeochemical data (total alkalinity (TA), pH on the NBS scale (pHNBS)) have been determined monthly. Concurrent meteorological data were recorded from January 2021 to April 2025 by a meteorological station located at 49.5 m above sea level on the roof of the S. Teresa ENEA Centre (44° 5’ 1” N, 9° 52’ 55” E).  Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.
