As part of the “Mediterranean Targeted Project II—MAss Transfer and Ecosystem Response” (MTPII-MATER) EU-funded research project, particle flux data was obtained from three instrumented arrays moored along the 1°30′ W meridian in the Eastern Alboran Sea. The mooring lines were deployed over 11 month...
