The MOOSE-GE cruises aim to provide an annual summer snapshot of the North-Western Mediterranean Sea basin, to observe changes in water mass properties, biogeochemical content and changes in planktonic biodiversity (https://doi.org/10.18142/235). These cruises are part of the national MOOSE program (Mediterranean Ocean Observing System for the Environment) funded by CNRS-INSU and the Research Infrastructure ILICO (French Ministry). Since 2012, lowered and ship ADCP data were collected during MOOSE-GE cruises. This data set contains quality controlled data of horizontal currents measured by ship and lowered ADCPs.
