This visualization product displays the transparency of litter in percent per net per year from research and monitoring protocols. EMODnet Chemistry included the collection of marine litter in its 3rd phase. Before 2021, there was no coordinated effort at the regional or European scale for micro-litter. Given this situation, EMODnet Chemistry proposed to adopt the data gathering and data management approach as generally applied for marine data, i.e., populating metadata and data in the CDI Data Discovery and Access service using dedicated SeaDataNet data transport formats. EMODnet Chemistry is currently the official EU collector of micro-litter data from Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) National Monitoring activities (descriptor 10). A series of specific standard vocabularies or standard terms related to micro-litter have been added to SeaDataNet NVS (NERC Vocabulary Server) Common Vocabularies to describe the micro-litter. European micro-litter data are collected by the National Oceanographic Data Centres (NODCs). Micro-litter map products are generated from NODCs data after a test of the aggregated collection including data and data format checks and data harmonization. A filter is applied to represent only micro-litter sampled according to research and monitoring protocols as MSFD monitoring. To calculate percentages for each transparency, formula applied is: Transparency (%) = (∑number of particles of each transparency)*100 / (∑number of particles of all transparency) When the number of microlitters was not filled or zero, the percentage could not be calculated. Standard vocabularies for microliter transparency are taken from Seadatanet's H06 library (https://vocab.seadatanet.org/v_bodc_vocab_v2/search.asp?lib=H06) 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 National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC) for this area.

This visualization product displays marine macro-litter (> 2.5cm) material categories percentage per beach per year from Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) monitoring surveys. EMODnet Chemistry included the collection of marine litter in its 3rd phase. Since the beginning of 2018, data of beach litter 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 and reference lists used on a European scale. Preliminary processing were necessary to harmonize all the data: - Exclusion of OSPAR 1000 protocol: in order to follow the approach of OSPAR that it is not including these data anymore in the monitoring; - Selection of MSFD surveys only (exclusion of other monitoring, cleaning and research operations); - Exclusion of beaches without coordinates; - Some litter types like organic litter, small fragments (paraffin and wax; items > 2.5cm) and pollutants have been removed. The list of selected items is attached to this metadata. This list was created using EU Marine Beach Litter Baselines and EU Threshold Value for Macro Litter on Coastlines from JRC (these two documents are attached to this metadata); - Exclusion of the "feaces" category: it concerns more exactly the items of dog excrements in bags of the OSPAR (item code: 121) and ITA (item code: IT59) reference lists; - Normalization of survey lengths to 100m & 1 survey / year: in some case, the survey length was not exactly 100m, so in order to be able to compare the abundance of litter from different beaches a normalization is applied using this formula: Number of items (normalized by 100 m) = Number of litter per items x (100 / survey length) Then, this normalized number of items is summed to obtain the total normalized number of litter for each survey. Sometimes the survey length was null or equal to 0. Assuming that the MSFD protocol has been applied, the length has been set at 100m in these cases. To calculate percentages for each material category, formula applied is: Material (%) = (∑number of items (normalized at 100 m) of each material category)*100 / (∑number of items (normalized at 100 m) of all categories) The material categories differ between reference lists (OSPAR, ITA, TSG_ML, UNEP, UNEP_MARLIN). In order to apply a common procedure for all the surveys, the material categories have been harmonized. More information is available in the attached documents. 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 dataset contains libraries of 3 coral species: Acropora hyacinthus, Porites lobata and Poscillopora acuta. In three islands with contrasting thermal regimes, the three species were sampled and brought back to the laboratory to induce an experimental thermal stress. The different colonies were split into two conditions. One part was placed in tanks filled with seawater at a given control temperature, the other part in tanks where the water temperature was increased. The samples in this dataset correspond to part of the control condition samples from French Polynesia and New Caledonia.

The main objectives of this dataset is to gather the ocean swells measured by different sensors, including satellite and in-situ sources, that were generated by a given tropical cyclone (TC). This dataset aims at providing characteristics of these swells such as their direction, wavelength (or period) and energy but also the date when they left the influence of the tropical cyclone wind to propagate freely. Wave spectra in tropical cyclones vary strongly per quadrant and provide information about the current and past state of the wave field. However, inside TCs, waves measurements including the wave system direction, energy and wavelength are rare and difficult to obtain with in-situ and remote sensing technics. For this dataset, both moored and drifting buoys are considered as long as they provide wave systems measurements. For the satellite contribution, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and real aperture radar (RAR) instruments can significantly contribute to the TC-generated waves documentation. Indeed, ocean wave spectra can be derived from modulations of the backscatter in SAR and RAR signal. SAR on board European satellite and in particular the SAR series developed since ERS-1 by ESA and now ESA/Copernicus with Sentinel-1 mission (S-1) are good candidates to provide these ocean waves systems characteristics thanks to the dedicated acquisition mode : the so-called Wave Mode. The wave spectrometer SWIM developed by the French space Agency (CNES) and embedded on the Chinese-French Oceanography SATellite (CFOSAT) has been launched more recently with a new measurement concept relying on a RAR and can certainly complement the S-1 data collection. Although the reasons are different, these two systems are limited for measuring waves generation area within the TC vortex where strong rain rates and wind regimes are observed. Far enough from their source, satellite acquisitions are thus expected to be able to observe these ocean swells during more favorable met-ocean conditions for waves retrieval inversion. As a consequence, our analysis is focused on waves originating from TC but that have been able to propagate far from their source. The analysis of swell measurements far from their area of generation to locate the storm source has been firstly applied to data from one single in-situ wave station (wave energy with frequency and direction) collected 2 miles off shore from San Clemente Island, California and extended to a network of several wave stations in the sixties. More recently, the gathering of swell system observed with SAR far from a storm to characterize the waves properties across the ocean has proven to be efficient in the case of extra-tropical storms. Yet, such analysis is not adapted to Tropical Cyclone whose size is much smaller and currently existing wave datasets do not allow for an accurate monitoring of the tropical cyclones swells. This multi-sensor Level-3 tropical cyclone waves dataset intends to fill this gap and opens for an alternate way of estimating tropical cyclone waves properties over all ocean basins and for all tropical cyclones. This dataset was produced in the frame of the ESA funded Marine Atmosphere eXtreme Satellite Synergy (MAXSS) project. The primary objective of the ESA Marine Atmosphere eXtreme Satellite Synergy (MAXSS) project is to provide guidance and innovative methodologies to maximize the synergetic use of available Earth Observation data (satellite, in situ) to improve understanding about the multi-scale dynamical characteristics of extreme air-sea interaction.

Moving 6-year analysis of Water body phosphate in the NorthEast Atlantic for each season: - winter: January-March, - spring: April-June, - summer: July-September, - autumn: October-December. Every year of the time dimension corresponds to the 6-year centred average of each season. 6-year periods span from 1950/1955 until 2016/2021. Observation data span from 1950 to 2021. Depth levels (IODE standard depths): [0.0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0, 50.0, 75.0, 100.0, 125.0, 150.0, 200.0, 250.0, 300.0, 400.0, 500.0, 600.0, 700.0, 800.0, 900.0, 1000.0, 1100.0, 1200.0, 1300.0, 1400.0, 1500.0, 1750.0, 2000.0]. Data sources: observational data from SeaDataNet/EMODNet Chemistry Data Network. Descrption of DIVAnd analysis: the computation was done with DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions), version 2.7.4, using GEBCO 30 sec topography for the spatial connectivity of water masses. The horizontal resolution of the produced DIVAnd maps is 0.1 degrees. Horizontal correlation length varies from 250km in open sea regions to 50km at the coast. Vertical correlation length is defined as twice the vertical resolution. Signal-to-noise ratio was fixed to 1 for vertical profiles and 0.1 for time series to account for the redundancy in the time series observations. A logarithmic transformation (DIVAnd.Anam.loglin) was applied to the data prior to the analysis to avoid unrealistic negative values. Background field: a vertically-filtered profile of the seasonal data mean value (including all years) is substracted from the data. Detrending of data: no, advection constraint applied: no. Units: umol/l.
