ESTOC site
The ‘European Station for Time-series in the Ocean, Canary Islands’ (or ‘Estación Europea de Series Temporales del Oceano, Islas Canarias’,
ESTOC) is located
100 km north (upstream) of Gran Canaria in the eastern boundary flow of the subtropical North Atlantic gyre (at 29°10’N and 15°30’W).
The station is situated in the northern Canary Basin about 460 km west of the Moroccan coast and is surrounded by deep water (water depth at
ESTOC is 3600 m). The time-series station was initiated by a group of four scientists in Spain and in Germany who are also the principal
investigators: On the Canary Islands, Octavio Llinás from the Instituto Canario de Ciencias Marinas (ICCM) and Argeo Rodríguez de León from
the Instituto Espańol de Oceanografia (IEO); and in Germany, Gerold Siedler from the Institut für Meereskunde (Institute of Marine Sciences)
in Kiel (IfM) and Gerold Wefer from the Department of Geosciences at the University of Bremen (GeoB).
To get an overview about the data available in the following section, please have a look at the map and the variable/parameter profiles (.pdf document).
In order to present properly the results Ocean Data View (Reiner Schlitzer, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research) has been applied.
Data are available as tab-delimited .txt files in ASCII format. If you have comments on that, please let me know (Nicolas Dittert, WDC-MARE).
All ORFOIS related data with respect to ESTOC are continuously updated.
Whenever you use data of the ORFOIS data compilation that refer to the ESTOC data collection, please quote the citations of the
following publications:
