  • Level 3, hourly, sub-skin Sea Surface Temperature derived from **Meteosat Third Generation (MTG)** at 0° longitude, covering 60S-60N and 60W-60E and re-projected on a 0.05° regular grid, in GHRSST compliant netCDF format. The satellite input data come from MTG level 1 data processed at EUMETSAT. SST is retrieved from the Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) spectral imaging instrument, using a multi-spectral algorithm and a cloud mask. Atmospheric profiles of water vapor and temperature from a numerical weather prediction model, Sea Surface Temperature from an analysis, together with a radiative transfer model, are used to correct the multispectral algorithm for regional and seasonal biases due to changing atmospheric conditions.The quality of the products is monitored regularly by daily comparison of the satellite estimates against buoy measurements. The product format is compliant with the GHRSST Data Specification (GDS) version 2. Users are advised to use data only with quality levels 3, 4 and 5. This dataset is generated by Meteo-France in the frame of the [EUMETSAT Ocean & Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF)](https://osi-saf.eumetsat.int/).

  • Two types of products are available for 30 sensitive megabenthic invertebrates : 1- Biomass distribution of the taxa interpolated by kriging across trawlable soft bottoms of the Mediterranean (10–1000 m depth): "[taxa]_bd.tif" 2- Kriging uncertainties associated with each biomass distribution interpolation: "[taxa]_un.tif" ***These layers are associated with the report: Millot Jade, Vaz Sandrine, Lauria Valentina (2026). Sensitivity of megabenthic invertebrate communities to bottom trawling in the Mediterranean based on biological traits. RBE/MARBEC/LHM. https://doi.org/10.13155/117327***

  • Three community-level indices of megabenthic invertebrate sensitivity to bottom trawling were calculated across the Mediterranean soft-bottoms: - Community low-resistance index: reflects the likelihood that communities are captured or physically damaged by bottom trawling. Biological traits considered: position within the sediment, mobility, adult size, and fragility. - Community low-resilience index: reflects the limited recovery potential of communities following bottom-trawling disturbance. Biological traits considered: feeding mode and longevity. - Community sensitivity index: integrates both the low-resistance and low-resilience indices to provide an overall measure of community sensitivity to bottom trawling. ***These layers are associated with the report: Millot Jade, Vaz Sandrine, Lauria Valentina (2026).
