Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract— The pilot Kazakhstan–Russia project provided the first systematic data in a long time on coastal currents in one of the least studied areas of the Caspian Sea, namely the Mangistau Shelf. Moored autonomous buoy stations equipped with inclinometric meters for the velocity and direction of the current in the bottom layer, as well as water temperature sensors, operating at two points on the shelf for 69 days from June 2 to August 9, 2021. CTD-probing of the vertical structure was performed as well.
