Abstract
Abstract. The French coast of the eastern English Channel (ECC) is
classified as a potential eutrophication zone by the Oslo and Paris (OSPAR) Convention and as moderate to poor according to the phytoplankton
quality element of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). It is regularly
affected by Phaeocystis globosa bloom events, which have detrimental effects on the marine
ecosystem, economy, and public health. In this context and to improve our
observation strategy, MAREL Carnot, a multi-sensor oceanographic station,
was installed in the eastern English Channel in 2004 at the Carnot wall in
Boulogne-sur-Mer. The aim of this station was to collect high-frequency
measurements of several water quality parameters to complement conventional
low-resolution monitoring programs. The purpose of this paper is to describe
the MAREL Carnot dataset and show how it can be used for several research
objectives. MAREL Carnot collects high-frequency, multi-parameter
observations from surface water as well as meteorological measurements and
sends the data in near real-time to an onshore data center. In this paper,
we present several physical, chemical, and biological parameters measured by
this station. We also demonstrate that the MAREL Carnot dataset can be used
to assess environmental or ecological statuses and conduct research in the
field of marine phytoplankton ecology and oceanography. In addition, we
show that this dataset may indirectly aid in improving European
environmental management strategies. The MAREL
Carnot dataset is publicly accessible via https://doi.org/10.17882/39754 (MAREL Carnot,
2023).
