Hydrological and Hydrochemical Data from Cooperative Investigations in the Mediterranean, including MEDALPEX (RIHMI-WDC)

The main parameters are temperature and salinity, O2, pH, Alkalinity, PO4-P, SiO3-Si, NO2-N, and NO3-N. Russian and foreign verified data held on magnetic tape in national format and in publications 'Data Report of CIM' available for international exchange without restriction. In addition, RIHMI-WDC holds data for cruise deep oceanic observations made within CIM and in the CIM area of responsibility (1908-1969; 11,470 stations; magnetic tapes (national format) and tables).

In addition, data from the Ligurian-Provencal Basin, Adriatic Sea, and Catalan Sea is available from the MEDALPEX experiment, from July 1981 to September 1982. The main parameters are temperature and salinity, O2, pH, Alkalinity, PO4-P, SiO3-Si, NO2-N, and NO3-N, as well as conductivity, currents, biology, aerology, and waves. The size of the holdings is as follows: 2,000 stations (hydrology and hydrochemistry); 64,259 records (temperature, conductivity); 144,280 records (currents); 500 stations (biology); 37,752 observations (waves); 191 sensing (aerology).
