Methodological note

Methodological aspects

The data from the climatology is taken from the Meteorological Service of Catalonia from the Ministry of Territory and Sustainability.

It also includes a table showing the average seawater temperature at different depths, measured from an observation point on l'Estartit on the Costa Brava (1 mile east of Medes Islands; Coordinates: 42º 03' N, 3º 15' E).

Unavailable information is represented using the symbol ":". When the value is lower than that of the minimum unit to be able to estimate the statistical operation or if it effects statistical confidentiality, the symbol used is "..".
