Specifications of the desirable and recommended product attributes for generating spatial layers of sea level trend for the last 10 years for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS3 region along the coast.

The objective of this tender is to examine the current data collection, observation and data assembly programmes in the Meditterranean Sea, identify gaps and to evaluate how they can be optimised.

Moving 10-years analysis of Phosphate at Northeast Atlantic Ocean for each season: - winter: January-March, - spring: April-June, - summer: July-September, - autumn: October-December Every year of the time dimension corresponds to the 10-year centred average of each season. Decades span : - from 1963-1972 until 2005-2014 (winter) - from 1963-1972 until 2005-2014 (spring) - from 1964-1973 until 2005-2014 (summer) - from 1964-1973 until 2005-2014 (autumn) Observational data span from 1962 to 2014. Depth range (IODE standard depths): -3000.0, -2500.0, -2000.0, -1750, -1500.0, -1400.0, -1300.0, -1200.0, -1100.0, -1000.0, -900.0, -800.0, -700.0, -600.0, -500.0, -400.0, -300.0, -250.0, -200.0, -150.0, -125.0, -100.0, -75.0, -50.0,-40.0, -30.0, -20.0, -10.0, -5.0, -0.0 Data Sources: observational data from SeaDataNet/EMODNet Chemistry Data Network. Description of DIVA analysis: Geostatistical data analysis by DIVA (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis) tool. GEBCO 1min topography is used for the contouring preparation. Analyzed filed masked using relative error threshold 0.3 and 0.5 DIVA settings. Signal to noise ratio and correlation length were optimized and filtered vertically and a seasonally-averaged profile was used. Logarithmic transformation applied to the data prior to the analysis. Background field: the data mean value is subtracted from the data. Detrending of data: no, Advection constraint applied: no. Units: umol/l

VOS/SOOP tracks are usually repeated several times a year and inform about the marine sinks and sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide on a global bases and their variability. Data from this network has been made available to the scientific community and interested public via the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Centre (CDIAC) Oceans at the Department of Energy, USA, since the early 1990’s where PIs submitted and shared their data. In 2017, CDIAC Ocean will be named Ocean Carbon Data System (OCADS) and join NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). In 2007, the marine biogeochemistry community coordinated by the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP), launched the Surface Ocean Carbon Dioxide ATlas (SOCAT) in order to uniformly quality control and format the data with detailed documentation. Underway carbon dioxide data from the VOS network are integrated in SOCAT.

Description of the attributes for the time-series annual average sea level for the last 50 and the last 100 yrs for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS region along the coast.

Data from FerryBoxes on ships of opportunity going on permanent routes are stored inside this database (ferrydata.hzg.de). Parameters are temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a fluorescence, oxygen and different others. The data model is transect oriented. A data portal to access and visualise the data is also provided.

Specification of the desirable and recommended products attributes for generating spatial layers of sea level trend for the last 50 and 100 years for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS3 region along the coast.

Description ot the spatial layers attributes of sea level trend for the last 10 years for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS3 region along the coast.

Suitability index of a wind farm in the NWMed concerning the environmental resources, the natural barriers, human activities, MPA and fisheries.

Specification of the desirable and recommended product attributes for generating time series of average annual sea temperature at mid-water and sea bottom for the last 10 yrs.
