Environmental and AIS data collected during the EUMarineRobots Trans-National Access activities experiments using the NATO STO-CMRE Littoral Ocean Observatory Network testbed

Environmental and AIS data collected during the H2020 project EUMarineRobots Trans-National Access activities experiments using the NATO STO-CMRE Littoral Ocean Observatory Network (LOON) testbed. Environmental data consists of temperature measured across the water column; sound velocity measured close to the surface and close to the sea bottom; meteorological data at the surface (i.e., pressure, temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity and rain). The environmental dataset is complemented with Automatic Identification System (AIS) data for the ships transiting close to the LOON area (Gulf of La Spezia, Italy) Temperature measured across the water column in the LOON area (Gulf of La Spezia, Italy). The dataset includes measurements for: i) Nov 12, 19-20, 23-24 - 2020 ii) Dec 1-4, 14-20 - 2020 iii) Jan 12-13, 15, 18-24, 27-28 - 2021 Meteorological data at the surface (i.e., pressure, temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity and rain) in the LOON area (Gulf of La Spezia, Italy). The dataset includes measurements for: i) Nov 12, 19-20, 23-24 - 2020 ii) Dec 1-4, 14-20 - 2020 iii) Jan 12-13, 15, 18-24, 27-28 - 2021 Sound velocity measured close to the surface (SVP1) and close to the sea bottom (SVP2) in the LOON area (Gulf of La Spezia, Italy). The dataset includes measurements for: i) Nov 12, 19-20, 23-24 - 2020 ii) Dec 1-4, 14-20 - 2020 iii) Jan 12-13, 15, 18-24, 27-28 - 2021 SVP2 data missing for Dec 14-20 (2020) and Jan 24, 27-28 (2021). Automatic Identification System (AIS) data for the ships transiting close to the LOON area (Gulf of La Spezia, Italy). The dataset includes AIS data for: i) Nov 12, 19-20, 23-24 - 2020 ii) Dec 1-4, 14-20 - 2020 iii) Jan 12-13, 15, 18-24, 27-28 - 2021 For reference, see: "Environmental data collected on the CMRE LOON tested during the EUMR project: dataset description", Petroccia, Roberto; Zappa, Giovanni; Cimino, Giampaolo; Grati, Alberto; Alves, João.
