Description of spatial layers attributes of sea-level trend (units: mm/year) from tide gauges over periods of 50 years (1963-2012) and 100 years (1913-2012), to characterize and assess average annual sea-level rise at the coast.

Description of de desirable and recomended attributes for generating time-series of sea surface annual average temperature for the last 10, 50 and 100 yrs for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS 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.

Description of attributes for time series on annual averafe mid-water and sea-bottom temperature for the last 10 years for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS3 along 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.

VOS/SOOP tracks are usually repeated several times a year and inform about the marine sinks and sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide on a global bases and their variability. Data from this network has been made available to the scientific community and interested public via the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Centre (CDIAC) Oceans at the Department of Energy, USA, since the early 1990’s where PIs submitted and shared their data. In 2017, CDIAC Ocean will be named Ocean Carbon Data System (OCADS) and join NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). In 2007, the marine biogeochemistry community coordinated by the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP), launched the Surface Ocean Carbon Dioxide ATlas (SOCAT) in order to uniformly quality control and format the data with detailed documentation. Underway carbon dioxide data from the VOS network are integrated in SOCAT.
