Mediterranean-Alpine Experiment (MEDALPEX): Sea level and other data from the Mediterranean Sea from 1981-09-01 to 1982-09-30 (NCEI Accession 9000011)
This dataset includes sea level data calculated from tide gauge, current meter, thermistor chain, Waverider buoy, CTD and XBT data, in support of the Mediterranean-Alpine Experiment (MEDALPEX) Sea Level project which took place from September 1, 1981 to September 30, 1982. The main purpose of MEDALPEX was to understand the effect of wind forcing on the dynamics of the western part of the mediterranean sea. Sea level data was submitted to the Marine Information and Advisory Service (MIAS) which is the UK's National Oceanographic Data Centre. There were 29 MEDALPEX sites with contributions from Belgium, France, Monaco, Italy, Spain, Yugoslavia and the UK. The data is available in GF-3 format.
