Table describing the retrievable observations, access url, etc, used to validate atmospheric, wave and SST parameters in model output. Atmospheric measurements come from land-based weather stations, radiosoundings and measurements taken as part of the HyMeX campaign (balloons, airborne measurements, etc). Wave measurements and some atmospheric parameters come from the Lion metocean buoy, and from wave buoys in the CANDHIS network (CEREMA). Ocean parameters come mainly from the Lion buoy and some Lagrangian floats from the ARGO network.

The main objective of this atlas is to summarise the knowledge acquired on biofouling, and more generally on communities of living organisms on hard substrates, available today in mainland France and the French overseas territories, in order to anticipate the issues that this phenomenon will pose in an ORE context. The atlas is based on the most exhaustive bibliographical analysis possible, including A-level scientific articles, reports (training courses, monitoring, studies), and works presenting the results of studies conducted in French waters
