Atmospheric, hydrodynamic and water quality observations from environmental-quality stations, water level sensors, acoustic Doppler velocimeters, and meteorological stations located at the Guadalquivir river estuary (2008 - 2010)

<p>The dataset included in this repository was obtained during the project entitled &ldquo;Propuesta metodol&oacute;gica para diagn&oacute;sticar las consecuencias de las actuaciones humanas en el estuario del Guadalquivir&rdquo; funded by the Autoridad Portuaria de Sevilla (APS), by the Consejer&iacute;a de Innovaci&oacute;n, Ciencia y Empresa (Junta de Andaluc&iacute;a), CTM2011-22580, MedEX (CTM2008-04036-E) and PR11-RNM-7722. The data were collected in real time from 2008 until 2010 with a remote monitoring system installed by the Institute of Marine Sciences of Andalusia (ICMAN-CSIC) (Navarro et al., 2011).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The environmental quality station recorded turbidity, temperature, conductivity, normalized turbidity, dissolved oxygen, oxygen, oxygen saturation, percentage of oxygen saturation, fluorescence, normalized fluorescence, and salinity every thirty minutes. Current data were measured every 15 minutes by means of acoustic current profilers. The former datasets were obtained at several depths and different locations along the Guadalquivir estuary. Water level sensors recorded the position of the free water surface every 10 minutes at several locations along the Guadalquivir estuary. Wind velocity and direction and solar radiation were measured every 10 minutes in a meteorological station at the mouth of the Guadalquivir estuary.</p> <p>Brief description of dataset.</p> <ul> <li> <p>velocities.csv (in m/s)</p> </li> <li> <p>Turbidity.csv (in Volts), temperature (in Celsius), conductivity (in Siemens/m), normalized turbidity (in FNU), dissolved oxygen (mg/L), oxygen (in Volts), fluorescence (in Volts), normalized fluorescence (in Volts), oxygen saturation (mg/L), percentage of oxygen saturation (%), salinity (in PSU).</p> </li> <li> <p>qual_Salmedina.csv, R_mean (mean radiative flux in W/m&sup2;), R_max (max radiative flux in W/m&sup2;), Rel_humidity (relative humidity in %), D_mean (wind mean direction in degrees), D_max (wind maximum direction in degrees), D_sig (standard deviation of the wind direction in degrees), V_mean (mean wind velocity in m/s), V_max (maximum wind velocity in m/s), V_sig (standard deviation of the wind velocity in m/s), P_atm_mean (mean atmospheric pressure in mbar), T_mean (mean air temperature in Celsius), T_max (maximum air temperature in Celsius), T_sig (standard deviation of the air temperature in Celsius).</p> </li> <li> <p>Sealevel.csv (in meters)</p> </li> </ul> <p>A wide description of the datasets can be found in Navarro et al (2011).</p> <p>Contact person: infogdfa@ugr.es (or mcobosb@ugr.es)</p>
