Domain refers to tropical and subtropical Atlantic and Pacific oceans (T), Northwestern Mediterranean Sea (M), Galician coastal upwelling (G), Antarctic Peninsula (A) and other regions (O). N indicates the number of stations sampled during each cruise. Duration (mean ± standard deviation, in minutes) is the time used for the turbulence profiler deployment at each station. Depth (mean ± standard deviation, in meters) is the maximum depth reached by the microstructure profiler. During the Malaspina expedition only 44 out of 47 stations were considered as tropical and subtropical.
