Oceanography

During ENVADRI2011  cruise, the water column properties on the western side of the basin have been investigated along transects from Trieste Gulf to S. of Ancona, up to the Pomo transect. Figures 16 show the pattern of salinity and fluorescence data during Leg I of Cruise, while Figures 17 and 18 presents results from the Po River and Rimini Transects.

In addition, CTD casts were performed on the Eastern coast during the activities on Montenegro, including the Bay of Kotor.

In the Appendix Table A2 shows the metadata of the 136 CTD casts collected during the cruise, and figure A1 plots a summary of the data.
