This data set provides a monthly time series of the upper limb of the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) intensity at the A25 Greenland-Portugal OVIDE line from 1993 to 2015. The MOC was derived by combining AVISO altimetry with ISAS temperature and salinity data. The reader is referred to Mercier et al. (2015, Progress in Oceanography) for a full description of the method.

GOSUD aims at assembling in-situ observations of the world ocean surface collected by a variety of ships and at distributing quality controlled datasets.  At present time the variables considered by GOSUD are temperature and salinity. The GOSUD data are mostly collected using thermosalinographs (TSG) installed on research vessels, on commercial ships and in some cases on sailing exploration ships GOSUD manages both near-real time data and delayed mode (reprocessed) data.

This dataset contains (1) outputs of Species Distribution Models (SDMs) for marine fish and (2) estimation of species richness using those outputs. SDMs use correlative algorithms to link presences of species to the environment recorded in place and time of their observation, calculate their environmental niche, estimate the geographical location suitable for them (habitat suitability) and in fine their geographical distribution. Here, we downloaded presences of marine fish from two open source databases, GBIF and OBIS and 13 environmental predictors known to be relevant in fish ecology (list below). We used the CEPHALOPOD pipeline, a framework allowing the user the compute a lot of species at the same time, with comparable methods and a verification of quality of inputs and outputs at every steps (Schickele et al., 2025). 3,642 fish made it to the final step and have the habitat suitability estimated for 12 month + annual mean, 10 bootstrap to quantify uncertainty and x algorithms. Those estimation are available in the “L2_marine_fish_*.nc” files, organized by water column position (bathydemersal, bathypelagic, benthopelagic, demersal, pelagic-neritic, pelagic-oceanic, reef-associated). We then used their annual mean to estimate their actual geographic distribution by applying (1) a bathymetric filtration and (2) a cutting procedure which removes isolated patches of high suitability (i.e., potential distribution) with no recorded presences (i.e., considered to be outside of the species dispersion range). Those geographic distribution were then stacked to estimate global species richness of every fish and each water column position.

Ensemble simulations of the ecosystem model Apecosm (https://apecosm.org) forced by the IPSL-CM6-LR climate model with the climate change scenario SSP1-2.6. The output files contain yearly mean biomass density for 3 communities (epipelagic, mesopelagic migratory and mesopelagic redidents) and 100 size classes (ranging from 0.12cm to 1.96m) The model grid file is also provided. Units are in J/m2 and can be converted in kg/m2 by dividing by 4e6. These outputs are associated with the "Assessing the time of emergence of marine ecosystems from global to local scales using IPSL-CM6A-LR/APECOSM climate-to-fish ensemble simulations" paper from the Earth's Future "Past and Future of Marine Ecosystems" Special Collection.

This product integrates sea level observations aggregated and validated from the Regional EuroGOOS consortium (Arctic-ROOS, BOOS, NOOS, IBI-ROOS, MONGOOS) and Black Sea GOOS as well as from the Global telecommunication system (GTS) used by the Met Offices. The latest version of Copernicus delayed-mode Sea level product is also distributed from Copernicus Marine catalogue.

This dataset provides a global Look-Up Table (LUT) of physiological ratios for the real-time adjustment of chlorophyll-a fluorescence measured by biogeochemical Argo (BGC-Argo) profiling floats. The physiological ratios aim to account for the global variability in the relationship between fluorescence and chlorophyll-a concentration, as influenced by phytoplankton physiology. The LUT was developed using two different gap-filled observational Argo-based products (SOCA machine learning-based methodology ; Sauzède et al., 2016; Sauzède et al., 2024). The first product provides gap-filled chlorophyll-a data derived from fluorescence corrected for dark signal and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) following Schmechtig et al. (2023), while the second product provides chlorophyll-a concentrations derived from light attenuation. The latter is based on the downward irradiance at 490 nm (ED490) derived from the SOCA-light method (Renosh et al., 2023). From this, the diffuse attenuation coefficient (KD490) is computed, which is subsequently used to estimate the chlorophyll-a concentration through the bio-optical relationships described by Morel et al. (2007). These two products, based on fluorescence and radiometry, enable the derivation of spatially varying correction factors, or physiological ratios. These ratios provide a validated grounded framework for adjusting real-time fluorescence observations from OneArgo floats into chlorophyll-a concentrations. The LUT is distributed in NetCDF format and is provided on a regular 1°×1° latitude–longitude grid covering the global ocean. Each grid cell contains the temporal mean, averaged over the water column (from the surface to 1.5 times the euphotic depth), of the physiological ratio. The file also includes metadata describing variable definitions, units, and other relevant information. Variables included: - physiological_ratio — fluorescence-to-radiometry-based chlorophyll correction factor (dimensionless) - physiological_ratio_sd — temporal standard deviation (over the twelve months) of the fluorescence-to-radiometry-based chlorophyll correction factor (dimensionless) - lat, lon — spatial coordinates (degrees north/east) - Global attributes — dataset description, reference citation, and contact information

Observations of Sea surface temperature and salinity are now obtained from voluntary sailing ships using medium or small size sensors. They complement the networks installed on research vessels or commercial ships. The delayed mode dataset proposed here is upgraded annually as a contribution to GOSUD (http://www.gosud.org )
