Outline

• EMODNet Chemistry I : Work Overview• EMODNet Chemistry II

– Initial Inventory• Conclusions• Actions

Mediterranean data pool• >10.000 stations aggregated in the regional data pool• 5 spots

(Balearic Sea, Gulf of Lion, North Adriatic Sea, Gulf of Athens and NE Levantine basin)

EMODNet I Work Flow for data collection and products preparation

Step 1

•data collection & metadata compilation e.g CDI generationby each partner

Step 2

•data aggregation at regional pools (HCMR/HNODC, MHI, ICES)

Step 3

•further quality controls to the merged data sets with ODV

Step 4

•gridded data products and error maps preparation as NetCDF files (by 3 centres using DIVA)

Data Analysis

Products definition

• Interpolated maps (by DIVA tool)– For homogeneous and sufficient data distribution

in time and space such as• basin scale data

• Time series plots (by ODV)– no homogeneous data distribution such as

• coastal monitoring stations or • datasets with fragmented coverage

Diva products• visualized by Ocean Browser, developed by

GHER group (loaded as WMS)

Time series plots• visualized by Ocean Browser, developed by

GHER group (loaded as WMS)

Data access restriction

• Partners provide even restricted data to the Mediterranean regional data pool to be used for the products/climatologies generation.

• These data treated as restricted in case of user request through the CDI User Interface.

• Cases of MEDAR/MEDATLAS climatologies, MyOcean products

YugNIRO (Ukraine)

• Fertilisers and other nitrogen- and phosphorus-rich substances

Conclusions• Improvement of data along coastline• In general there is improvement of data

coverage compared to the existing CDI archive• New parameters within parameters groups

like CO2, partial pressure of oxygen (for climate change studies), pH

• Improved national networking and coordination (Italy example)

Next Actions

• M0-M3– Partners: start WP1- Data collection, metadata compilation (CDI

preparation), provision of datasets in ODV format to regional pool leaders– Regional leaders: start analysis of spatial and temporal data coverage in

coordination with WP3 to provide the monitoring requirements for the MSFD. Check with other regions for comparable results.

• M6– Regional leaders: First results– Form a group for products validation before publication

• M13-M30– Regional leaders: Development of new products for MSFD
