387 points were surveyed with a SP80 DGPS by Maxime Paschal as part of the La Rochelle Zero Carbon Territory (LRTZC) project on 26/05/23. At each point, the type of vegetation was specified.

In recent years, large datasets of in situ marine carbonate system parameters (partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2), total alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon and pH) have been collated. These carbonate system datasets have highly variable data density in both space and time, especially in the case of pCO2, which is routinely measured at high frequency using underway measuring systems. This variation in data density can create biases when the data are used, for example for algorithm assessment, favouring datasets or regions with high data density. A common way to overcome data density issues is to bin the data into cells of equal latitude and longitude extent. This leads to bins with spatial areas that are latitude and projection dependent (eg become smaller and more elongated as the poles are approached). Additionally, as bin boundaries are defined without reference to the spatial distribution of the data or to geographical features, data clusters may be divided sub-optimally (eg a bin covering a region with a strong gradient). To overcome these problems and to provide a tool for matching in situ data with satellite, model and climatological data, which often have very different spatiotemporal scales both from the in situ data and from each other, a methodology has been created to group in situ data into ‘regions of interest’, spatiotemporal cylinders consisting of circles on the Earth’s surface extending over a period of time. These regions of interest are optimally adjusted to contain as many in situ measurements as possible. All in situ measurements of the same parameter contained in a region of interest are collated, including estimated uncertainties and regional summary statistics. The same grouping is done for each of the other datasets, producing a dataset of matchups. About 35 million in situ datapoints were then matched with data from five satellite sources and five model and re-analysis datasets to produce a global matchup dataset of carbonate system data, consisting of 287,000 regions of interest spanning 54 years from 1957 to 2023. Each region of interest is 50 km in diameter and 5 days in duration, improving the spatial and temporal resolution of the previous version (v3.4). The list of sources added in this dataset includes: - sea surface temperature and sea ice concentration from Copernicus Climate Service Multi-satellite L4 (http://dx.doi.org/10.5285/62c0f97b1eac4e0197a674870afe1ee6) - sea surface salinity from the Copernicus Marine service Multi Observation Global Ocean Sea Surface Salinity and Sea Surface Density (https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00051) - Surface ocean sea-air CO2 fluxes and total alkalinity from ETH Zurich OceanSODA-ETHZ-v2 gridded dataset (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11206366) - salinity and mixed layer depth from SODA v3.4.2 reanalysis (https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-18-0149.1) - chlorophyll-A from ESA Ocean Colour CCI v6 (doi:10.3390/s19194285) - wind at 10 m and mean sea level pressure from ERA5 reanalysis - nitrate, silicate, phosphate, oxygen, temperature and salinity from World Ocean Atlas 2018 - sea level anomaly from Global Ocean Gridded L4 Sea Surface Heights And Derived Variables Multi-Year dataset by Copernicus Marine Service Information (https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00148) - sea surface salinity from ESA Salinity CCI L4 v3.2.1 (https://dx.doi.org/10.5285/5920a2c77e3c45339477acd31ce62c3c) - sea surface salinity from JPL SMAP Level 3 CAP Sea Surface Salinity (https://doi.org/10.5067/SMP40-3SPCS) - temperature and salinity from Coriolis Observation Re-Analysis CORA5.2 by Copernicus Marine Service (https://doi.org/10.17882/46219) - subskin sea surface temperature from NOAA OISST SST (http://doi.org/10.5067/GHAAO-4BC01) - sea surface salinity from the Arctic salinity dataset (https://doi.org/10.20350/digitalCSIC/9065) the Barcelona Expert Center (http://bec.icm.csic.es/) - pH and spCO2 from Copernicus Marine Service Surface Ocean Carbon Dataset (https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00047) An example application, the reparameterisation of a global total alkalinity algorithm, is shown. This matchup dataset can be updated as and when in situ and other datasets are updated, and similar datasets at finer spatiotemporal scale can be constructed, for example to enable regional studies. This dataset was funded by ESA OceanHealth / Ocean Acidification project which aims at developing the use of satellite Earth Observation for studying and monitoring marine carbonate chemistry.

This dataset provide a times series of daily mean fields of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) foundation at ultra-high resolution (UHR) on a 0.02 x 0.02 degree grid (approximately 2 x 2 km) for the Mediterranean Sea, every 24 hours. An Optimal interpolation (OI) technique is used to combine coincident swath measures of SST from different types satellite sensors and to fill gaps where no observations are available or obstructed by clouds. This multi-sensor compositing and interpolation process categorizes this dataset as a Level 4 product. Whereas along swath observation data essentially represent the skin or sub-skin SST, the L4 SST product is defined to represent the SST foundation (SSTfnd). SSTfnd is defined within GHRSST-PP as the temperature at the base of the diurnal thermocline. It is so named because it represents the foundation temperature on which the diurnal thermocline develops during the day. SSTfnd changes only gradually along with the upper layer of the ocean, and by definition it is independent of skin SST fluctuations due to wind- and radiation-dependent diurnal stratification or skin layer response. It is therefore updated at intervals of 24 hrs. SSTfnd corresponds to the temperature of the upper mixed layer which is the part of the ocean represented by the top-most layer of grid cells in most numerical ocean models. It is never observed directly by satellites, but it comes closest to being detected by infrared and microwave radiometers during the night, when the previous day's diurnal stratification can be assumed to have decayed. The processing combines the observations of multiple polar orbiting and geostationary satellites, embedding infrared of microwave radiometers. All these sources are intercalibrated with eachother before merging. The processing is the same as for the Atlantic Near Real Time (NRT) L4 dataset available on Copernicus Marine Service [SST_ATL_SST_L4_NRT_OBSERVATIONS_010_025 dataset] and users can refer to the user manual and quality documents available there for more details. This dataset was developed in the frame of European Space Agency (ESA)'s Medspiration project.

The Level 4 merged microwave wind product is a complete set of hourly global 10-m wind maps on a 0.25x0.25 degree latitude-longitude grid, spanning 1 Jan 2010 through the end of 2020. The product combines background neutral equivalent wind fields from ERA5, daily surface current fields from CMEMS, and stress equivalent winds obtained from several microwave passive and active sensors to produce hourly surface current relative stress equivalent wind analyses. The satellite winds include those from recently launched L-band passive sensors capable of measuring extreme winds in tropical cyclones, with little or no degradation from precipitation. All satellite winds used in the analyses have been recalibrated using a large set of collocated satellite-SFMR wind data in storm-centric coordinates. To maximize the use of the satellite microwave data, winds within a 24-hour window centered on the analysis time have been incorporated into each analysis. To accomodate the large time window, satellite wind speeds are transformed into deviations from ERA5 background wind speeds interpolated to the measurement times, and then an optical flow-based morphing technique is applied to these wind speed increments to propagate them from measurement to analysis time. These morphed wind speed increments are then added to the background wind speed at the analysis time to yield a set of total wind speeds fields for each sensor at the analysis time. These individual sensor wind speed fields are then combined with the background 10-m wind direction to yield vorticity and divergence fields for the individual sensor winds. From these, merged vorticity and divergence fields are computed as a weighted average of the individual vorticity and divergence fields. The final vector wind field is then obtained directly from these merged vorticity and divergence fields. Note that one consequence of producing the analyses in terms of vorticity and divergence is that there are no discontinuities in the wind speed fields at the (morphed) swath edges. There are two important points to be noted: the background ERA5 wind speed fields have been rescaled to be globally consistent with the recalibrated AMSR2 wind speeds. This rescaling involves a large increase in the ERA5 background winds beyond about 17 m/s. For example, an ERA5 10 m wind speed of 30 m/s is transformed into a wind speed of 41 m/s, and a wind speed of 34 m/s is transformed into a wind speed of about 48 m/s. Besides the current version of the product is calibrated for use within tropical cyclones and is not appropriate for use elsewhere. This dataset was produced in the frame of ESA 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.
