“…glider SeaExplorer, CTD probe, Ferrybox, drifter CARTHE). The area of interest is also Despite a few studies focused on the variability in the area at short time-spatial scales (Locritani et al 2010, Schroeder et al 2012, Berta et al 2020, Poulain et al 2020, there are no studies, to our knowledge, focusing also on deep hydrodynamics, due to lack of targeted observations in the area. The extended time-series presented in this work aims to fill this gap.…”

Abstract. A 2 years dataset of a stand-alone mooring placed, deployed in November 2020 down the Levante Canyon in the Eastern Ligurian Sea, is presented. The Levante Canyon Mooring (LCM) is a deep submarine multidisciplinary observatory deployed at 608 m depth, in a key ecosystem area. The Levante Canyon hosts a valuable and vulnerable ecosystem of deep-living Cold-Water Corals (CWC), studied and monitored since 2013 through the integrated mapping of seabed and water column. The 2 years dataset, acquired on the mooring and presented here (data from November 2020 to October 2022), includes measurements conducted with both currentmeters and CTD probes, and provides information about the hydrodynamics and thermohaline properties across almost the entire water column. The observatory is still on-going and the dataset is regularly updated. All the described data are publicly available from https://doi.org/10.17882/92236 (Borghini et al., 2022). They must therefore be preserved and are of considerable scientific interest.
