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.
