Combination MPAs and monitoring stations for biodiversity elements

Specification of the desirable and recomended product attributes for generating spatial layers of sea surface temperature temperature trend for the last 10, 50, 100 years for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS3 region along the coast.

The main aim of this product was to define the suitability of offshore sites in the area between the borders of France-Spain-Italy for wind farm development. The adopted approach classifies wind speed data by their level of suitability, ranging from a grade 5 for exclusion zones, to a grade 1 for areas deemed appropriate for wind farm development. The quality indexes adopted were based on mean and variation statistical measures taking into consideration both the expected energy potential and the corresponding variability.

Maps of Chlorophyll concentration seasonal climatologies (i.e., Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall) over the Mediterranean Sea relative to the period 1998-2009.

Map of Chlorophyll trends (UNITS: mg/m3/year) from L4 satellite ocean color data FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS (2005-2014)

Specification of the desirable and recommended product attributes for generating spatial layers of annual avergae internal energy for the last 20 years.

In order to assess the connectivity oceanographic data will be used. A shape map will be created combining data on MPAs adequacy and distribution of MPAs and temperature, currents seasonal GIS layers (The temperature and currents are INGV climatological products made available to CH2.

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.
