This dataset contains current data acquired between Auguest 2018 and June 2019 using 3 TCM3 Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meters installed next to the Tour Eiffel, Montségur and Crystal hydrothermal vent sites. The TCM-3 Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meter from Lowell Instruments LLC (North Falmouth, MA, USA) measures current using the drag-tilt principle. The logger is buoyant and is anchored to the bottom via a short flexible tether. Drag from moving water tilts the logger in the direction of flow. The logger’s accelerometer and magnetometer channels are used to record the amount of tilt and direction of tilt (compass bearing). The array comprises 3 currentmeters, deployed near the Tour Eiffel, Montségur and Crystal hydrothermal vent sites. It is not connected to an energy node. The currentmeter's internal clocks are set to UTC time before deployment. Clock drift after recovery is not implemented in data but added as metadata in file Sensor Metadata. 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.

This data set contains the CTD data collected by the Stazione Oceanografica of CNR (Italy) from RV URANIA during eight oceanographic campaigns (Table 1). These cruises were part of an intensive field program in the Sicily Channel and in the southern Tyrrhenian basin conducted within the MATER project, funded under FP4-MAS3 (Grant agreement ID: MAS3960051). Data have been used in several studies (see Related documents).

The Astan-Roscoff time-series data characterize the temperature and salinity of the Western English Channel. Between 1952 and 1982 the sampling station was located to the north-west of Batz Island. Since 1983, the sampling station is located at the current (https://www.somlit.fr/)-[https://www.somlit.fr]), accredited by the CNRS as a national Earth Science Observatory (Service National d’Observation: SNO), aiming at assessing their long-term evolution including both natural and anthropogenic forcings. Samples were collected with a Niskin bottle at high tide slack during neap tides at 2m-depth and at 60m-depth for the 1983-1999 period. Until 1970 the exact date of sampling is unknown, hence in the data set, the 1st of the month is present. Water samples where analysed for Salinity with a Salinometer Guidline Autocal and Temperature was measured during sampling with a reversing mercury thermometer (Richet and Wiese). Starting in 2000, this time series has been integrated in the SOMLIT ASTAN time-series, which is part of the( SOMLIT National Observation Service)-[https://www.somlit.fr/].

This dataset contains measurements of dissolved nitrate, phosphate and silica during two deployments, each lasting several weeks each at the OBSEA observatory during 2022 and 2023. Three prototype lab on chip in situ chemical analysers developed at the National Oceanography Centre, UK, were deployed at the site during summer 2022 and summer 2023. The nitrate sensor uses the Griess colorimetric assay and a copperised cadmium column to measure dissolved nitrate (and nitrite). Each sample measurement was calibrated by measuring onboard calibration standards prepared in artificial seawater with a salinity of 35. A blank solution and a standard solution containing 10 µmol / L of potassium nitrate were measured immediately prior to each sample measurement. Nitrate data is available between 2022-06-16 and 2022-07-06. Sample measurements were made every 2 hours initially, but this was decreased to once every 4 hours from 2022-06-30. The phosphate sensor uses a colorimetric assay based on the Molybdenum Blue method. Each sample measurement was calibrated by measuring onboard calibration standards prepared in artificial seawater with a salinity of 35. A blank solution and two standard solutions containing 0.5 µmol / L and 2 µmol / L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate were measured immediately prior to each sample measurement. Phosphate data is available between 2022-06-16 and 2022-07-05, with a sampling frequency of every 2 hours (decreasing to every 4 hours from 2022-06-30), and between 2023-07-21 and 2023-09-12, with a sampling frequency of every 12 hours. The dissolved silica sensor uses a colorimetric assay also based on the Molybdenum Blue method. Each sample measurement was calibrated by measuring onboard calibration standards prepared in artificial seawater with a salinity of 35. A blank solution and two standard solutions containing 5 µmol / L and 15 µmol / L of sodium hexafluorosilicate were measured immediately prior to each sample measurement. Dissolved silica data is available between 2023-07-21 and 2023-08-12, with a sampling frequency of every 6 hours. Timestamps in the datafiles are in UTC and concentration units are µmol / L.

The SCENES monitoring station is part of the SNO COAST-HF national network (ILICO-RI), and the regional PHRESQUES observation network. The station includes i) a surface buoy equipped with a CTD and an optical turbidity and fluorescence sensor measuring approximately 1.5m below surface and ii) a benthic station equipped with an optical turbidity sensor and an up-looking ADCP (before Oct. 2017 – optical sensor ~ 1.4m above the bed, after Oct. 2017 : 0.5m above the bed). Due to technical problems, the time series, for all sensors, is discontinuous. Optical turbidity measurements can be transformed in suspended particulate matter concentration (SPMC, in g/l) using a calibration relationship built from the PHRESQUES field campaigns (SPMC=0.00156*NTU+0.001). The acoustic backscatter signal was processed to retrieve SPMC values using optical turbidity sensors and observations from the PHRESQUES Field campaigns.  This dataset allows to investigate hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics from the tidal scale to the seasonal and interannual scale from water level, current velocity, salinity, temperature and SPM concentration measurements.
