RAIA CTD surveys (42.1ºN) near Cape Silleiro (NW Iberia)

From January to November 2009, 4 hydrographic cruises were carried out along a 42.1°N across-shelf section, near Cape Silleiro (NW Iberia, Atlantic Ocean). These cruises sampled along seven equally spaced stations from the position of the coastal Silleiro buoy at 8.93 °W (75 m depth) to a station located at 9.44°W (~580 m depth, Figure 1). A CTD (Seabird 25) equipped with fluorescence, turbidity and transmittance sensors was used for these hydrographic cruises. The cruises started at the shallow station between 08:00 to 11:00, and ended at the deepest station between 12:00 to 15:00
