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.

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.

The main aim of this product was to define the suitability of offshore sites in the area between the borders of France-Spain-Italy for wind farm development. The adopted approach classifies wind speed data by their level of suitability, ranging from a grade 5 for exclusion zones, to a grade 1 for areas deemed appropriate for wind farm development. The quality indexes adopted were based on mean and variation statistical measures taking into consideration both the expected energy potential and the corresponding variability.

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.
