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.

'''Short description:''' Global Ocean- in-situ Near Real time Carbon observations. The In Situ Thematic Assembly Centre (INS TAC) integrates near real-time in situ observation data. This Near-Real Time product contains observations of temperature, salinity and fugacity of carbon dioxide from the surface ocean. These data are collected from ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre (https://otc.icos-cp.eu/home) operational stations, using Standard Operating Procedures for the ocean carbon community. The data are quality controlled using the software QuinCe, which provides automatic Quality Control in the form of range checks, constant value and excessive gradient detection. This product is updated with new observations at a maximum frequency of once a day, depending on the connection capabilities of the platform.

This product displays for Hexachlorobenzene, positions with values counts that have been measured per matrix and are present in EMODnet regional contaminants aggregated datasets, v2022. The product displays positions for all available years.

The dataset consists of hourly sea levels and surges over 1900-2015 in the North Atlantic, on a 0.1° grid (directory "HINDCAST" ) and extracted at 34 stations (directory “STATIONS”).

The oceanographic data from the Oslofjord at 1 m and 60 m are in the range of a salinity of ~10-34 and a temperature range of -1 to 20 °C. Other sensor data that can be available are Chl-a fluorescence, turbidity, pH and pCO2. The station will give access to the above data for doing research on biogeochemistry and climate. NIVA staff will support via data QC and setup of remote data access.

Data and imagery from the Atlantic basin: - Climate - Cloud Profiling Radars - Air-Sea & Air-Land Fluxes - Wind Profiling Radars - Satellite - Local Weather and Climate PSL archives a wide range of data ranging from gridded climate datasets extending hundreds of years to real-time wind profiler data at a single location. The data or products derived from this data, organized by type, are available to scientists and the general public at the links in the website. The third-party data appearing on this web site may be reformatted from their original form, but not altered as to the informational content contained therein. It is provided as a public service.
