Purpose

Identify the 3 most abundant phytoplankton species in the North Atlantic and then track their abundance over the last century. This EMODnet Atlantic Checkpoint data product is the result of a “challenge” stress test forming a part of a group of tests to evaluate marine data capacity according to set user requirements. The products do not constitute a formal climate assessment and should not be used as such.

Use limitation

The challenge was to identify the 3 most abundant phytoplankton species in the North Atlantic and then track their abundance over the last century.

No objectives were achieved:

• datasets that can calculate a time-series on a basin wide and species basis are not available and probably not practical.

• Datasets at individual locations are available but in addition to the spatial limitation also have limited temporal coverage;

• Site and cruise specific data only.

• Even at genus rather than species level there is too little data to make a product that can reflect the basin.
