This dataset contains time series of meteorological parameters (precipitation, air temperature and relative humidity, wind speed, atmospheric pressure, solar radiation), water quality parameters (temperature, salinity), and water depths of the Gialova lagoon, Peloponnese, Greece. The data are contained in a single spreadsheet including mean (or cumulative) daily values for each measured parameter.
The data were collected to assess changes in water quality and quantity in the Gialova lagoon — an ecologically important ecosystem under significant stress due to limited freshwater inputs. The data were used to constrain a coupled hydrologic-salt balance model to quantify hydrological flows in and out of the lagoon.
The data were collected in and around the Gialova lagoon from March 2016 to January 2018. Meteorological data are obtained from a single meteorological station located at the southwest corner of the lagoon and were gap-filled using data from other nearby stations (one located 5 km east of the lagoon, and one at Methoni, 16 km south of the lagoon). Water quality data are representative of the whole lagoon, and are based on a combination of high-frequency point measurements and low-frequency spatially distributed measurements.
