ABSTRACT : Time series of the monthly means of potential temperature, salinity and potential density recorded on the HydroChanges consecutive moorings in the Gulf of Lion (41° 59.0' N 04° 55' E) few meters above the bottom (~2320m), between 2006 and 2011. N.B.: data from 2003 to 2006 exist but moorings are yet to be recovered. Observing strategy Mooring with 1 Seacat SBE37 and usually one currentmeter. Seacat SBE37 fitted with pump and pressure sensor for accurate computation of the salinity, and mostly sent to recalibration at SeaBird after their deployment.

The COAST-HF/Arcachon-Ferret time series characterizes the hydrology of the interface between the Arcachon lagoon, located in the South-Western France, and the Atlantic Ocean. A buoy belonging to Phares et Balises is instrumented with a multi-parametric probe that records sub-surface temperature, conductivity, depth, turbidity and fluorescence every 10 minutes since February 2018. It is opérated by the OASU and EPOC teams (Univ. Bordeaux/CNRS). COAST-HF (Coastal OceAn observing SysTem - High Frequency; www.coast-hf.fr) is a national observation network accredited by the CNRS as a national Earth Science Observatory (Service National d’Observation: SNO). It aims to federate and coordinate a set of 14 fixed platforms instrumented with high-frequency in situ measurements for key parameters of coastal waters. The COAST-HF/Arcachon-Ferret buoy is one of them. COAST-HF is part of the French Research Infrastructure dedicated to coastal ocean observations (RI ILICO, https://www.ir-ilico.fr). Data are transmitted to the Coriolis Côtier database (https://data.coriolis-cotier.org/). Data are raw data.
