EMODnet Chemistry aims to provide access to marine chemistry datasets and derived data products concerning eutrophication, acidity and contaminants. The importance of the selected substances and other parameters relates to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This aggregated dataset contains all unrestricted EMODnet Chemistry data on eutrophication and acidity, and covers the Greater North Sea and Celtic Seas. Data were aggregated and quality controlled by 'Aarhus University, Department of Bioscience, Marine Ecology Roskilde' in Denmark. ITS-90 water temperature and water body salinity variables have also been included ('as are') to complete the eutrophication and acidity data. If you use these variables for calculations, please refer to SeaDataNet for the quality flags: https://www.seadatanet.org/Products/Aggregated-datasets . Regional datasets concerning eutrophication and acidity are automatically harvested, and the resulting collections are aggregated and quality controlled using ODV Software and following a common methodology for all sea regions ( https://doi.org/10.13120/8xm0-5m67 ). Parameter names are based on P35 vocabulary, which relates to EMODnet Chemistry aggregated parameter names and is available at: https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/search_nvs/P35/ . When not present in original data, water body nitrate plus nitrite was calculated by summing all nitrate and nitrite parameters. The same procedure was applied for water body dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), which was calculated by summing all nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium parameters. Concentrations per unit mass were converted to a unit volume using a constant density of 1.025 kg/L. The aggregated dataset can also be downloaded as an ODV collection and spreadsheet, which is composed of a metadata header followed by tab separated values. This spreadsheet can be imported to ODV Software for visualisation (more information can be found at: https://www.seadatanet.org/Software/ODV ).

This visualization product displays the spatial distribution of seafloor litter density per trawl. EMODnet Chemistry included the collection of marine litter in its 3rd phase. Since the beginning of 2018, data of seafloor litter collected by international fish-trawl surveys have been gathered and processed in the EMODnet Chemistry Marine Litter Database (MLDB). The harmonization of all the data has been the most challenging task considering the heterogeneity of the data sources, sampling protocols (OSPAR and MEDITS protocols) and reference lists used on a European scale. Moreover, within the same protocol, different gear types are deployed during fishing bottom trawl surveys. In cases where the wingspread and/or number of items were unknown, data could not be used because these fields are needed to calculate the density. Data collected before 2011 are affected by this filter. When the distance reported in the data was null, it was calculated from: - the ground speed and the haul duration using this formula: Distance (km) = Haul duration (h) * Ground speed (km/h); - the trawl coordinates if the ground speed and the haul duration were not filled in. The swept area is calculated from the wingspread (which depends on the fishing gear type) and the distance trawled: Swept area (km²) = Distance (km) * Wingspread (km) Densities have been calculated on each trawl and year using the following computation: Density (number of items per km²) = ∑Number of items / Swept area (km²) Then a grid with 30km x 30km cells is used to calculate the weighted mean of densities in each cell from the formula : Weighted mean (number of items per km²) = ∑ (Distance (km) * Density (number of items per km²)) / ∑ Distance (km) Percentiles 50, 75, 95 & 99 have been calculated taking into account data for all years. More information on data processing and calculation are detailed in the document attached. Warning: the absence of data on the map doesn't necessarily mean that they don't exist, but that no information has been entered in the Marine Litter Database for this area.

This product displays for Fluoranthene, positions with values counts that have been measured per matrix and are present in EMODnet regional contaminants aggregated datasets, v2024. The product displays positions for all available years.

The analysis was performed per season using DIVA software tool (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis). The analyses products are stored as NetCDF CF files and made available as WMS layers for easy browsing and adding. Every step of the time dimension corresponds to a 6-year moving average from 1983 to 2016. The depth dimension spans from surface to 1000 m, with 21 vertical levels. The boundaries and overlapping zones between these regions were filtered to avoid any unrealistic spatial discontinuities. This combined water body dissolved oxygen concentration product is masked using the relative error threshold 0.5. Units: µmol/l Created by 'University of Liège, GeoHydrodynamics and Environment Research (ULiège-GHER)'. The data used as input for DIVA have been extracted from the EMODnet Chemistry Download Service: https://emodnet-chemistry.maris.nl/search Intermediate regional data products: Mediterranean Sea - DIVA 4D 6-year analysis of Water body chlorophyll-a 1990/2017 v2018, Arctic Ocean - DIVA 4D 6-year analysis of Water body chlorophyll-a 1980/2017 v2018, Black Sea - DIVA 4D 6-year analysis of Water body chlorophyll-a 1990/2016 v2018, North East Atlantic Ocean - DIVA 4D 6-year analysis of Water body chlorophyll-a 1960/2017 v2018, North Sea - DIVA 4D 6-year analysis of Water body chlorophyll-a 1980/2017 v2018, Baltic Sea - DIVA 4D 6-year analysis of Water body chlorophyll-a 1980/2016 v2018

Moving 6-year analysis of dissolved oxygen concentration in the Arctic Ocean, for each season in the period 1965-2022. Every year of the time dimension corresponds to the 6-year centered average for each season. Winter: December-February, Spring: March-May, Summer: June-August, Autumn: September-November. Depth range (IODE standard depths): 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, ..., 1500, 1750, 2000, 2500m. Units: umol/l. Description of DIVA analysis: The computation was done with DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions), version 2.7.9, using GEBCO 30sec topography for the spatial connectivity of water masses. The horizontal resolution of the produced DIVAnd maps grids is 0.1 degrees. Signal-to-noise ratio was fixed to 3.0, horizontal correlation length varying from 45 km near the coast to 150 km, and vertical correlation length varying between 25 and 1000 m. Logarithmic transformation is applied to the data prior to the analysis. Background field: analysis with signal-to-noise ratio = 10, horizontal correlation length 60-200 km, and vertical correlation length 25-1000 m.
