Temperature, salinity, density, dissolved oxygen, and fluorescence along a section in Qatar

Hydrographic conditions along a northeastern section off the eastern coast of Qatar Peninsula, Arabian Gulf were measured seasonally for the first time. Six sampling stations, along a 105-km section perpendicular to the major axis of the Gulf, were visited five times within one year (October 2012, January 2013, April 2013, June 2013, and August 2013) to investigate seasonal and spatial variations in hydrographic conditions of Qatar’s exclusive economic zone.
