marphy: Physico-chemical records at the same stations as for marbio
Description
The marphy data frame has 68 rows (stations) and 4 columns.
They are seawater measurements at a deep of 3 to 7 m at the same 68 stations as marbio.source

This dataset corresponds to a single transect sampled across the Ligurian Sea front in the Mediterranean Sea, between Nice (France) and Calvi (Corsica). The transect extends from the Cap Ferrat (close to Nice) to about 65 km offshore in the direction of Calvi (along a bearing of 123�). 68 regularly spaced measurements where recorded. They correspond to the stations where zooplankton was collected in the marbio dataset. Water masses in the transect across the front where identified as:
