DTM of continental margin of Cantabric Sea, approximately 200 m resolution. This DTM includes the whole area from coast line to deepest level (5216,74 m).
Description of data processing : The information was processed with ARCGIS software to create a DTM at a resolution of 200 m x 200 m. approximately. The IEO got this information in vectorial format as isobaths with different equidistance, from coast line or 0 meters to 5216,74 meters, according to depth. From this isobaths using the TOPOGRID (command for interpolation a DTM from isobaths) we made a DTM in angular coordinates at a resolution of 1/8 arc-minute of latitude and longitude.
Altimetry product SWOT Level-3 Low Rate SSH - Unsmoothed
The SWOT L3_LR_SSH product provides ocean topography measurements obtained from the SWOT KaRIn and nadir altimeter instruments, merged into a single variable. The dataset includes measurements from KaRIn swaths on both sides of the image, while the measurements from the nadir altimeter are located in the central columns. In the areas between the nadir track and the two KaRIn swaths, as well as on the outer edges of each swath (restricted to cross-track distances ranging from 10 to 60 km), default values are expected. SWOT L3_LR_SSH is a cross-calibrated product from multiple missions that contains only the ocean topography content necessary for thematic research (e.g., oceanography, geodesy) and related applications. This product is designed to be simple and ready-to-use, and can be combined with other altimetry missions. The SWOT L3_LR_SSH product is a research-orientated extension of the L2_LR_SSH product, distributed by the SWOT project (NASA/JPL and CNES). SWOT L3_LR_SSH is managed by the SWOT Science Team project DESMOS. The ['Unsmoothed'] version of SWOT L3_LR_SSH (the "Basic" and "Expert" versions are the subject of separate metadata sheets) includes each algorithm, correction, or external model incorporated into the SWOT L3_LR_SSH product as a separate layer. This ['Unsmoothed'] version which includes the MSS, MDT and geostrophic currents (absolute and anomalies) in addition to the SSHA and MDT on the 250 m KaRIn native grid. Like the Expert subproduct, it also integrates a quality flag, corrections and external models as separate layers.

GHRSST Level 2P Global Skin Sea Surface Temperature from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on the MetOp-A satellite produced by EUMETSAT
The European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF) is producing SST products in near realtime from Metop/AVHRR. Global AVHRR level 1b data are acquired at Meteo-France/Centre de Meteorologie Spatiale (CMS) through the EUMETSAT/EUMETCAST system. SST is retrieved from the AVHRR infrared channels (3.7, 10.8 and 12.0 m) using a multispectral algorithm. Atmospheric profiles of water vapor and temperature from a numerical weather prediction model, together with a radiative transfer model, are used to correct the multispectral algorithm for regional and seasonal biases due to changing atmospheric conditions. This product is delivered at full resolution in satellite projection as metagranule corresponding to 3 minutes of acquisition. The product format is compliant with the GHRSST Data Specification (GDS) version 2.
The GEBCO_2024 Grid - A continuous terrain model of the global oceans and land
The GEBCO grid is global data set of elevation values, in metres, on a 15 arc-second interval grid. It is accompanied by a Type Identifier (TID) Grid that gives information on the types of source data that the GEBCO_2024 Grid is based on. An additional 4.34 million square kilometres of bathymetric data has been added to the global grid since the last release in 2023, with 26.1% of the seabed now mapped. This is the Sixth GEBCO grid developed through the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project.This is a collaborative project between the Nippon Foundation of Japan and GEBCO. The aim of the project is to map the global sea floor by 2030. GEBCO's grids can be downloaded as a global file in netCDF format or for user-defined areas, through our download app, in netCDF, data GeoTiff and ESRI ASCII raster formats. The data set can also be downloaded in the form of imagery. This release of the GEBCO grid includes data from version 5.0 of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) . GEBCO's aim is to provide the most authoritative publicly-available bathymetry of the world's oceans. It operates under the joint auspices of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) (of UNESCO).

EUNIS Littoral biogenic habitat types (salt marshes), distribution based on vegetation plot data - version 1, Nov. 2021
This metadata corresponds to the EUNIS Littoral biogenic habitat types (salt marshes), distribution based on vegetation plot data dataset. Littoral biogenic habitats (commonly known as salt marshes) are formed by animals such as worms and mussels or plants. The verified saltmarsh habitat samples used are derived from the Braun-Blanquet database (http://www.sci.muni.cz/botany/vegsci/braun_blanquet.php?lang=en) which is a centralised database of vegetation plots and comprises copies of national and regional databases using a unified taxonomic reference database. The geographic extent of the distribution data are all European countries except Armenia and Azerbaijan. The dataset is provided both in Geodatabase and Geopackage formats.
License CC-BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Copyright holder: European Environment Agency (EEA).
The database compiled for the Braun-Blanquet project comprises various national and regional vegetation databases. The maintenance of these databases is in principle in the hands of the custodians. However, before uploading datasets into the Braun-Blanquet database a quality check is performed by WENR and Masaryk University. If possible, detected errors are corrected and reported back to the data provider. Attributes added to the distribution data are: YEAR (year of recording) and PRECISION (precision in meters, indicating how precise the location is indicated). More information on the generation of the spatial files is provided in the documents available for download together with the dataset.
WOC Estimation of Stokes Drift Components from WaveWatch3 Model over Global Ocean
This dataset provides surface Stokes drift as retrieved from the wave energy spectrum computed by the spectral wave model WAVEWATCH-III (r), under NOAA license, discretized in wave numbers and directions and the water depth at each location. It is estimated at the sea surface and expressed in m.s-1. WAVEWATCH-III (r) model solves the random phase spectral action density balance equation for wavenumber-direction spectra. Please refer to the WAVEWATCH-III User Manual for fully detailed description of the wave model equations and numerical approaches. The data are available through HTTP and FTP; access to the data is free and open. In order to be informed about changes and to help us keep track of data usage, we encourage users to register at: https://forms.ifremer.fr/lops-siam/access-to-esa-world-ocean-circulation-project-data/ This dataset was generated by Ifremer / LOPS and is distributed by Ifremer / CERSAT in the frame of the World Ocean Circulation (WOC) project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).

COSYNA provides near real-time data from integrated observations and model results. The observations comprise a variety of in situ techniques (e.g. FerryBox, Gliders, Cabled Underwater Observatories) as well as remote sensing from shore by radar and from space by satellite. Key physical, sedimentary, geochemical and biological parameters are observed at high temporal resolution in the water column and the upper and lower boundary layers. COSYNA’s modelling part consists of nested models with different grid sizes for hydrography (salinity, waves, currents), for suspended matter and for biogeochemical and ecosystem processes. Sophisticated data assimilation procedures, i.e. continuous corrections of the models by observations, improve the reliability of now-casts and short-term forecasts. All data and plots are generally available for download through the data portal (http://codm.hzg.de/codm/). FerryBox data can be directly accessed via the data portal ferrydata.hzg.de where different vizualizaton tools are available (e.g. single transect, pool data along a certain transect for a longer time period or time-series at certain locations). Furthermore, all datasets can be exported in ASCII (tab separated tables) or NetCDF format and downloaded. COSYNA’s motivation is bridging the gap between operational oceanography and the various users of forecasts of the marine state. For further outreach to stakeholders and the wider community an app has been developed for the most common platforms.
