A large part of the data is from the MOW1 station, situated about 3 km offshore the harbour of Zeebrugge. Shorter time series have been collected for the Environmental Impact Assessment of the Belwind offshore windfarm at two locations (Blighbank, Gootebank) and the MOZ4 project (Westdiep location). A central objective of the MOMO project is to collect long-term time series of Suspended Particulate Matter concentration, size and transport in the coastal turbidity maximum located in the Belgian Part of the North Sea. Data from two sensors are included in this dataset. First, from a LISST-100X instrument, which contains four parameters: the optical transmission, the median distribution of the sediment particle size (micrometers), the Sauter mean diameter (micrometer) and the total SPM volume concentration (microlitres/litre). Second from in-situ observation of water turbidity derived from an Optical Backscatter Sensor (OBS) together with a CTD sensor. The following parameters are included: water pressure, salinity, water temperature, turbidity and SPM mass concentration (mg/l). The OBS is calibrated in the laboratory using standard turbidity solutions, and in the field using SPMC determined through filtration of water samples. -Observations of 3-D flow velocity field measured with an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV). -In-situ observations of particle size distribution and sediment concentration measured by a Workhorse LISST-100X instrument. Four parameters are measured by the sensor: the optical transmission, the median distribution of the sediment particle size (micrometers), the sauter mean diameter (micrometer) and the total sediment volume (microlitres/litre). -Current profiles measured with an Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP) sensor -3-D flow velocity field measured with an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Operational Directorate Natural Environment Vautierstraat 29 Brussels 1000 Belgium http://www.naturalsciences.be/institute/structure/index_html#natural web site Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Operational Directorate Natural Environment, Belgian Marine Data Centre Vautierstraat 29 Brussels 1000 Belgium bmdc@naturalsciences.be http://www.bmdc.be web site Oceanographic geographical features GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.httpinspireeceuropaeutheme-theme North Sea SeaVoX salt and fresh water body gazetteer 2024-01-15 SeaVoX salt and fresh water body gazetteer Currents Suspended particulate material Sedimentation and erosion processes SeaDataNet Agreed Parameter Groups 2023-07-04 SeaDataNet Agreed Parameter Groups current meters in-situ particle sizers salinity sensor ADVs and turbulence probes SeaDataNet device categories 2024-01-16 SeaDataNet device categories SonTek Argonaut moored 3D Doppler current meter SonTek ADVOcean/Hydra acoustic Doppler velocimeter Sequoia LISST-100X particle size analyser Sea-Bird SBE 37 MicroCat CT (submersible) CT sensor series SeaVoX Device Catalogue 2024-01-29 SeaVoX Device Catalogue Electrical conductivity of the water column Horizontal velocity of the water column (currents) Suspended particulate material grain size parameters Temperature of the water column SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary 2023-12-12 SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary CRUISE SUMMARY REPORT INVENTORY (CSR) 2023-10-02 fixed benthic node SeaVoX Platform Categories 2024-01-16 SeaVoX Platform Categories ICES Platform Codes 2024-01-16 ICES Platform Codes EUROPEAN DIRECTORY OF MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH PROJECTS (EDMERP) 2020-06-05 Text or Plaintext MEDIN data format categories 2024-01-29 MEDIN data format categories World Register of Marine Species (WORMS) 2024-02-07 SeaDataNet Measurement Periodicity Categories 2024-01-29 SeaDataNet Measurement Periodicity Categories BODC-approved data storage units (Spatial Unit) 2023-10-12 BODC-approved data storage units (Spatial Unit) BODC-approved data storage units (Vertical Unit) 2023-10-12 BODC-approved data storage units (Vertical Unit) no limitations to public access Conditions for access and use apply CC-BY 4.0 Oceans 2005-01-01 2019-10-01 2.185999 3.395862 51.078922 51.920203 Text or Plaintext 1 https://cloud.emodnet-ingestion.eu/index.php/s/xDbr5JTDYsIZwbv WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download https://cdi.seadatanet.org/report/3301209 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1205/2008 of 3 December 2008 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards metadata 2010-12-08 See the referenced specification false Corrigendum to INSPIRE Metadata Regulation published in the Official Journal of the European Union, L 328, page 83 2010-12-08 See the referenced specification false Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 2010-12-08 See the referenced specification false The tripod is retrieved every 3 to 6 weeks and the data is extracted from the sensors.
