Description ot the spatial layers attributes of sea level trend for the last 10 years for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS3 region along the coast.

Specifications of the desirable and recommended product attributes for generating spatial layers of sea level trend for the last 10 years for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS3 region along the coast.

The ESA Sea State Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project has produced global multi-sensor time-series of along-track satellite altimeter significant wave height data (referred to as Level 4 (L4) data) with a particular focus for use in climate studies. This dataset contains the Version 3 Remote Sensing Significant Wave Height product, gridded over a global regular cylindrical projection (1°x1° resolution), averaging valid and good measurements from all available altimeters on a monthly basis (using the L2P products also available). These L4 products are meant for statistics and visualization. The altimeter data used in the Sea State CCI dataset v3 come from multiple satellite missions spanning from 2002 to 2021 ( Envisat, CryoSat-2, Jason-1, Jason-2, Jason-3, SARAL, Sentinel-3A), therefore spanning over a shorter time range than version 1.1. Unlike version 1.1, this version 3 involved a complete and consistent retracking of all the included altimeters. Many altimeters are bi-frequency (Ku-C or Ku-S) and only measurements in Ku band were used, for consistency reasons, being available on each altimeter but SARAL (Ka band).

This dataset provides surface Stokes drift as retrieved from the wave energy spectrum computed by the spectral wave model WAVEWATCH-III (r), under NOAA license, discretized in wave numbers and directions and the water depth at each location. It is estimated at the sea surface and expressed in m.s-1. WAVEWATCH-III (r) model solves the random phase spectral action density balance equation for wavenumber-direction spectra. Please refer to the WAVEWATCH-III User Manual for fully detailed description of the wave model equations and numerical approaches. The data are available through HTTP and FTP; access to the data is free and open. In order to be informed about changes and to help us keep track of data usage, we encourage users to register at: https://forms.ifremer.fr/lops-siam/access-to-esa-world-ocean-circulation-project-data/ This dataset was generated by Ifremer / LOPS and is distributed by Ifremer / CERSAT in the frame of the World Ocean Circulation (WOC) project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).

The ODATIS Ocean Color MR product provides optical reflectance measurements as well as related physical, subsurface and biogeochemical parameters at 300 m spatial resolution along the entire French metropolitan coastal zone, according to the criteria defined by the ODATIS Scientific Expert Consortium (CES) dedicated to ocean color : https://www.odatis-ocean.fr/activites/consortium-dexpertise-scientifique/ces-couleur-de-locean. Product processing is performed from Level 1 to Level 3, and is reprojected on a regular square grid format. Data are temporally aggregated and provided as daily, 8 day and monthly products. The "Basic" version of the ODATIS MR product includes data from the MODIS sensor processed with the "NIR/SWIR" atmospheric correction method (Wang and Shi, 2007), as well as data from the MERIS and OLCI-A/B sensors processed with the Polymer atmospheric correction (Hygeos, https://www.hygeos.com/polymer). List of available parameters for each sensor: • MODIS : NRRS555, CHL-OC5, SPM-G, CDOM, T-FNU, SST-NIGHT • OLCI-A/B / MERIS : NRRS560, CHL-OC5, SPM-G, CDOM, T-FNU
