ATLANTIC_CH08_Specification_2 / Map of seasonal averages and changes of Chlorophyll indicator for eutrophication in the past 10 years (2005-2014) in the Atlantic basin

Map of seasonal averages of Chlorophyll a (ug/l, 90th percentile) indicator for eutrophication for the past 10 years (2005-2014) in the Atlantic basin. It will be generated using in situ measurements of the different parameters required to assess the Chlorophyll a indicator and the OSPAR Convention Common procedure methodology (OSPAR 2013, Common Procedure for the Identification of the Eutrophication Status of the OSPAR Maritime Area. Agreement 2013-08. 67 pp).
