Measurements were done from October 2002 to September 2003 on monthly or bimonthly intervals by VOS (ferry) on transect Dubrovnik (HR) - Bari (IT) overnight starting from roughly 10:30 pm until 5:00 in the morning next day

SEFOS (Shelf Edge Fisheries and Oceanography Studies) project aimed to contribute to the knowledge of the European slope and IH has the role of intercomparison of different observation systems. Thus, in addition to the CTD profiles, were launched several XBTs, to obtain this data set. 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.
