This data set includes recently published data used to assess the temporal evolution of pH in Atlantic and Mediterranean water masses exchanging at the Strait of Gibraltar (Long:-5.345, Lat: 36.137, Datum:WSG84) during the decade 2005-2015 and to calculate the magnitude of natural and anthropogenic components on total pH changes (Flecha et al., 2019). The database provides measurements of carbon system parameters in water samples collected at 3 stations that form the marine time series GIFT during 26 oceanographic campaigns conducted over the decade 2005–2015. Geographic coordinates of sampling stations are provided. Some physical data (i.e. temperature and salinity) are also included.

In the framework of the R/V J. Rioja (Spanish Institute of Oceanography, IEO-CSIC) routine field and monitoring operations on the Cantabrian Sea waters (southern Bay of Biscay), a continuous thermosalinometer (TSG, SeaBird 21) was installed in 2002 as an IEO contribution to the Ferrybox EU-funded project (2002-2005, EC-FP5-EESD nºEVK2-2002-00144). This research vessel has sampled the area in the framework of the IEO monitoring program RADIALES (monthly sampling, https://www.seriestemporales-ieo.net/). Data was routinely sent to the IEO datacenter and underway data are available from 15th October 2002 to 25th October 2012. During this period, the vessel performed more than 120 monthly sampling cruises with underway TSG data, recording more than 492 000 temperature and salinity lines. A recent revision, standardization and quality control/quality assessment of the dataset have been performed in the framework of SeaDataCloud project (H2020 INFRARAIA-1-2016-2017, n730960). This includes re-checking the clock, position, vessel speed, and recorded temperature and salinity values, as well as vocabularies that facilitate the accesibility of them. The whole dataset is provided with updated quality flags (QF) that improve their reusability. Monthly datafiles and the QF follow the seadatanet.org standards, as in formats as in vocabularies, in the pursuit of the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) data principles for sharing. At the moment, these data are freely distributed using OGC standard services (WMS, WFS, etc.) through institutional Thredds (http://centolo.co.ieo.es:8080/geoserver/web/) which facilitates the user's queries, automation of routines (e. g. model validation), and the development and implementation of web services and applications.

In the framework of the Research Vessel JM Navaz (Spanish Institute of Oceanography, IEO) routine field and monitoring operations on the Galician coastal waters, a continuous thermosalinograph (TSG,       SeaBird 21) with a fluorometer (Turner 10) was installed in 2007 as an IEO contribution to the RAIA observatory in Galicia-North Portugal (http://marnaraia.org). This research vessel has sampled the Galician Rias Baixas (Vigo, Pontevedra, Arousa and Muros) and the adjacent shelf in the framework of  the IEO monitoring program RADIALES (monthly sampling, https://www.seriestemporales-ieo.net/) and also of  the harmful algae Galician monitoring of INTECMAR (weekly sampling, http://www.intecmar.gal/).  Data was routinely sent to the IEO datacenter and underway data are available from 12th December 2007 to 10th January 2017. During this period, the vessel performed more than 930 sampling cruises with underway TSG data, working around 6 900 hours and sailing close to 100 000 km. It has registered more than 800 000 temperature and salinity data and more than 450 000 fluorescence records. A recent revision, standardization and quality control/quality assessment of the dataset have been performed in the framework of SeaDataCloud (H2020 INFRARAIA-1-2016-2017, n730960) with additional support from MyCOAST (Interreg Atlantic Area EAPA 285/2016) and MarRISK (Interreg POCTEP Galicia-N Portugal, 0262_MARRISK_1_E) projects. This includes re-checking the clock, position, vessel speed, and recorded temperature, salinity and fluorometry values, as well as vocabularies that facilitate reuse of them. The whole dataset is provided with updated quality flags (QF) that improve their reusability.

Mooring line deployed in the Espartel Sill located in the Strait of Gibraltar consisting of an uplooking Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) (Teledyne RD Instruments, Inc.), a currentmeter Nortek Aquadopp (Nortek AS), a CT (Conductivity Temperature) SBE 37 probe (Sea-Bird Electronics, Inc.), and SAMI-pH and SAMI-CO2 Submersible Autonomous Moored Instruments (Sunburst Sensors, LLC.). CT, SAMI-pH and SAMI-CO2 were placed around 13 m above the sea bottom (360 m depth). The main objective is to monitor the Mediterrranean Outflow Water carbon parameters variability before it leaves the Mediterranean Basin to the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar.

This data set contains raw data for the temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and pH time series at BOATS (Balearic Ocean Acidification Time Series) Cabrera National Park station.

Pressure, temperature, conductivity, and derived salinity data with their associated quality flags from the Vigo section of the monitoring program "Oceanography Time Series in Northern Spain" (RADIALES; https://www.seriestemporales-ieo.net/), carried out by the Instituto Español de Oceanografía. Data were collected biweekly to monthly from August 1987 to September 2020 in the interior of the Ría de Vigo and its adjacent shelf, at four stations with depths ranging from 29 m to 148 m. Data were acquired using MARK III, Sea-Bird Scientific 19 SeaCAT, SBE 9 Plus and SBE 25 Sealogger CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth) profilers. They were processed using Sea-Bird Scientific's Seasoft software package, and subsequently, quality controlled with both ctdcheck (https://github.com/PabloOtero/CTDChecker) and Ocean Data View software.  Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI.
