The objective of this tender is to examine the current data collection, observation and data assembly programmes in the Meditterranean Sea, identify gaps and to evaluate how they can be optimised.

Description of attributes for time series of sea level trend for the last 10 yrs for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS3 region along the coast.

Specification of the desirable and recommended product attributes for generating time series of sea level trend for the last 10 years for the Mediterranean basin for each NUTS3 region along the coast.

Specification of the desirable and recommended products attributes for generating spatial layers of sea mid-water and sea-bottom temperature for the last 10, 50 and 100 years for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS3 region along the coast.

A total number of 277 water samples were collected during distinct oceanographic cruises or at fixed stations across coastal systems of France and Senegal. The seawater samples were progressively filtered onto size-fractionated filters (representing micro, nano and pico-plankton). Metabarcoding of the V4 domain of the Eukaryotic 18S rDNA region was carried out to characterize the genetic diversity of the sampled communities. Genomic DNA was extracted following the DNA extraction kit Nucleospin Plant II (Macherey-Nagel) and the V4 markers were amplified with a taq polymerase (Phusion High-Fidelity PCR Master Mix with GC Buffer). Sequencing was performed by the Genotoul sequencing platform (get.genotoul.fr) with the Illumina MISeq method (2x250 bp). The present dataset gathers the different results issued from sequencing. This dataset was submitted to sequence cleaning, filtering, taxonomic assignment and OTU clustering, which resulted in a final dataset also presented.

Specification of the desirable and recommended products attributes for generating spatial layers of sea level trend for the last 50 and 100 years for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS3 region along the coast.

'''Short description:''' The Operational Mercator Ocean biogeochemical global ocean analysis and forecast system at 1/4 degree is providing 10 days of 3D global ocean forecasts updated daily. The time series is aggregated in time, in order to reach a two full year’s time series sliding window. This product includes daily and monthly mean files of biogeochemical parameters (chlorophyll, nitrate, phosphate, silicate, dissolved oxygen, dissolved iron, primary production, phytoplankton, zooplankton, PH, and surface partial pressure of carbon dioxyde) over the global ocean. The global ocean output files are displayed with a 1/4 degree horizontal resolution with regular longitude/latitude equirectangular projection. 50 vertical levels are ranging from 0 to 5700 meters. * NEMO version (v3.6_STABLE) * Forcings: GLOBAL_ANALYSISFORECAST_PHYS_001_024 at daily frequency. * Outputs mean fields are interpolated on a standard regular grid in NetCDF format. * Initial conditions: World Ocean Atlas 2013 for nitrate, phosphate, silicate and dissolved oxygen, GLODAPv2 for DIC and Alkalinity, and climatological model outputs for Iron and DOC * Quality/Accuracy/Calibration information: See the related QuID[https://documentation.marine.copernicus.eu/QUID/CMEMS-GLO-QUID-001-028.pdf] '''DOI (product) :''' https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00015

Today's normative and regulatory requirements to assess the producible energy from wind rely on in situ measurements (mast with anemometric sensors), which are extremely costly to Implement offshore. However, proof should be provided that hindcast model results are highly reliable, in order to provide an equivalent assessment. Very high resolution models is also the key issue in decision making for a proper siting that is relaying on the consistency of all datasets provided in the assessment. In this tender the products of the FP7 MARINA project will be used. 10-year (2001-2010) highresolution atmospheric, wave, tidal and ocean current simulations will be used. The model outputs are at high resolution (0.05x0.05 degree horizontal resolution, 1-hour time resolution, 5-vertical levels at 10,40,80,120,180 m). The wave parameters are co-located with the meteorological output fields. Satellite altimetry data from ENVISAT and JASON satellites have been assimilated in the system. Other wind and wave satellite data sets will be also analyzed (Synthetic Aperture Radars-SAR for example). At the same co-located points the tidal and ocean current data together with bathymetry are available. For preselected points in the North Western Mediterranean (Spain-France-ltaly areas) directional wave spectra data have been saved and are available. From SKIRON meteorological model available parameters are: WIND SPEED (m/s), WIND DIRECTION (deg), AIR PRESSURE (hPa), AIR DENSITY (Kgr/m3), TEMPERATURE (K), MODEL SEAMASK From the wave model available parameters: SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT (m), MEAN WAVE DIRECTION (deg), WAVE MEAN PERIOD (s), PEAK WAVE PRERIOD (s), SWELL WAVE HEIGHT (m), MEAN SWELL PERIOD (s), MEAN DIRECTIONAL SPREAD, WINDSEA MEAN DIRECTIONAL SPREAD, SWELL MEAN DIRECTIONAL SPREAD, MAXIMUM WAVE HEIGHT (m)
