Moving 6-year analysis of Water body silicate in the Mediterranean Sea for each season: - winter: January-March, - spring: April-June, - summer: July-September, - autumn: October-December. Every year of the time dimension corresponds to the 6-year centered average of the season. 6-years periods span from 1970-1975 until 2018-2023. Description of DIVA analysis: The computation was done with the DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions), version 2.7.12, using GEBCO 30sec topography for the spatial connectivity of water masses. The horizontal resolution of the produced DIVAnd maps grids is dx=dy=0.125 degrees (around 13.5km and 10.9km accordingly). The vertical resolution is 25 depth levels: [0.,5.,10.,20.,30.,50.,75.,100.,125.,150.,200.,250.,300.,400.,500.,600.,700.,800.,900.,1000.,1100.,1200.,1300.,1400.,1500.]. The horizontal correlation length is 200km. The vertical correlation length (in meters) was set twices the vertical resolution: [10.,10.,20.,20.,40.,50.,50.,50.,50.,100.,100.,100.,200.,200.,200.,200.,200.,200.,200.,200.,200.,200.,200.,200.,200.]. Duplicates check was performed using the following criteria for space and time: dlon=0.001deg., dlat=0.001deg., ddepth=1m, dtime=1hour, dvalue=0.1. The error variance (epsilon2) was set equal to 1 for profiles and 10 for time series to reduce the influence of close data near the coasts. An anamorphosis transformation was applied to the data (function DIVAnd.Anam.loglin) to avoid unrealistic negative values: threshold value=200. A background analysis field was used for all years (1970-2023) with correlation length equal to 600km and error variance (epsilon2) equal to 20. Quality control of the observations was applied using the interpolated field (QCMETHOD=3). Residuals (differences between the observations and the analysis (interpolated linearly to the location of the observations) were calculated. Observations with residuals outside the minimum and maximum values of the 99% quantile were discarded from the analysis.

Seasonal climatology of Water body chlorophyll-a for Loire river for the period 1971-2024 and for the following seasons: - winter: January-March, - spring: April-June, - summer: July-September, - autumn: October-December. Observation data span from 1971 to 2024. Depth levels (m): [0.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 35.0, 40.0, 45.0, 50.0, 60.0, 70.0, 80.0, 90.0, 100.0, 110.0, 120.0, 130.0]. Data sources: observational data from SeaDataNet/EMODNet Chemistry Data Network. Description of DIVAnd analysis: the computation was done with DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions), version 2.7.12, using GEBCO 15 sec topography for the spatial connectivity of water masses. The horizontal resolution of the produced DIVAnd maps is 0.01 degrees. Horizontal correlation length is defined seasonally (in meters): 14000 (winter), 52000 (spring), 42000 (summer), 125000 (autumn). Vertical correlation length was optimized and vertically filtered and a seasonally-averaged profile was used (DIVAnd.fitvertlen). Signal-to-noise ratio was fixed to 1 for vertical profiles and 0.1 for time series to account for the redundancy in the time series observations. A logarithmic transformation (DIVAnd.loglin) was applied to the data prior to the analysis. Background field: the vertically-filtered data mean profile is substracted from the data. Detrending of data: no, advection constraint applied: no. Units: mg/m3.

This visualization product displays the fishing & aquaculture related plastic items abundance of marine macro-litter (> 2.5cm) per beach per year from Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) monitoring surveys. EMODnet Chemistry included the collection of marine litter in its 3rd phase. Since the beginning of 2018, data of beach litter have been gathered and processed in the EMODnet Chemistry Marine Litter Database (MLDB). The harmonization of all the data has been the most challenging task considering the heterogeneity of the data sources, sampling protocols and reference lists used on a European scale. Preliminary processings were necessary to harmonize all the data: - Exclusion of OSPAR 1000 protocol: in order to follow the approach of OSPAR that it is not including these data anymore in the monitoring; - Selection of MSFD surveys only (exclusion of other monitoring, cleaning and research operations); - Exclusion of beaches without coordinates; - Selection of plastic bags related items only. The list of selected items is attached to this metadata. This list was created using EU Marine Beach Litter Baselines, the European Threshold Value for Macro Litter on Coastlines and the Joint list of litter categories for marine macro-litter monitoring from JRC (these three documents are attached to this metadata); - Normalization of survey lengths to 100m & 1 survey / year: in some case, the survey length was not exactly 100m, so in order to be able to compare the abundance of litter from different beaches a normalization is applied using this formula: Number of plastic bags related items of the survey (normalized by 100 m) = Number of plastic bags related items of the survey x (100 / survey length) Then, this normalized number of plastic bags related items is summed to obtain the total normalized number of plastic bags related items for each survey. Finally, the median abundance of plastic bags related items for each beach and year is calculated from these normalized abundances of plastic bags related items per survey. Sometimes the survey length was null or equal to 0. Assuming that the MSFD protocol has been applied, the length has been set at 100m in these cases. Percentiles 50, 75, 95 & 99 have been calculated taking into account plastic bags related items from MSFD data for all years. More information is available in the attached documents. Warning: the absence of data on the map does not necessarily mean that they do not exist, but that no information has been entered in the Marine Litter Database for this area.

EMODnet Chemistry aims to provide access to marine chemistry datasets and derived data products concerning eutrophication, acidity and contaminants. The importance of the selected substances and other parameters relates to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This aggregated dataset contains all unrestricted EMODnet Chemistry data on eutrophication and acidity, and covers the Northeast Atlantic Ocean (40W). Data were aggregated and quality controlled by 'IFREMER / IDM / SISMER - Scientific Information Systems for the SEA' in France. ITS-90 water temperature and water body salinity variables have also been included ('as are') to complete the eutrophication and acidity data. If you use these variables for calculations, please refer to SeaDataNet for the quality flags: https://www.seadatanet.org/Products/Aggregated-datasets . Regional datasets concerning eutrophication and acidity are automatically harvested, and the resulting collections are aggregated and quality controlled using ODV Software and following a common methodology for all sea regions ( https://doi.org/10.13120/8xm0-5m67 ). Parameter names are based on P35 vocabulary, which relates to EMODnet Chemistry aggregated parameter names and is available at: https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/search_nvs/P35/ . When not present in original data, water body nitrate plus nitrite was calculated by summing all nitrate and nitrite parameters. The same procedure was applied for water body dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), which was calculated by summing all nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium parameters. Concentrations per unit mass were converted to a unit volume using a constant density of 1.025 kg/L. The aggregated dataset can also be downloaded as an ODV collection and spreadsheet, which is composed of a metadata header followed by tab separated values. This spreadsheet can be imported to ODV Software for visualisation (more information can be found at: https://www.seadatanet.org/Software/ODV ).

Units are in J/m2 and can be converted in kg/m2 by dividing by 4e6. These outputs are associated with the "Assessing the time of emergence of marine ecosystems from global to local scales using IPSL-CM6A-LR/APECOSM climate-to-fish ensemble simulations" paper from the Earth's Future "Past and Future of Marine Ecosystems" Special Collection.

The BioSWOT-Med campaign (Doglioli et al., 2023) was conducted aboard R/V L’Atalante from April 20 to May 15, 2023 in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea, in the region of the North Balearic Front (NBF) to study interactions between fine-scale oceanic circulation and biogeochemical processes.  Three water masses were sampled across the NBF, northern ('A'), southern ('B'), and frontal ('F'). Each Lagrangian station consisted of a 24-hour sampling period following the displacement of a water parcel (Doglioli et al., 2024). Vertical profiles down to 500 m were collected every 6 hours at 06:00 ('T1'), 12:00 ('T2'), 18:00 ('T3'), and 00:00 ('T4') UTC, for a total of 28 Lagrangian stations: first between April~24-28 (A1, F1, B1), and again between May~4-7 (B2, F2, A2), with a final station in southern waters (B3) on May~12-13. B2 and B3 stations were located inside an anticyclonic eddy. Hydrological profiles were obtained using a Sea-Bird CTD, with data averaged to a 1~m vertical resolution, they include potential temperature (°C), practical salinity, fluorescence-derived chlorophyll-a (µg/L) and oxygen (µmol/kg).  Samples for nitrate + nitrite and phosphate (µM) were collected from Niskin bottles and analyzed onboard within 2-12~hours using a segmented flow analyzer (AAIII HR Seal Analytical) following (Aminot et al., 2007). Quantification limits (QL) were 0.05 µM for nitrate and 0.02 µM for phosphate. Phosphate concentrations at a nanomolar level analyses were performed in the laboratory using a high-sensitivity method combining a 1 m Liquid Waveguide Capillary Cell (LWCC) and an auto-analyzer (Zhang et al. 2002), achieving a detection limit of 0.002µM.  A BGC-Argo float (WMO: 1902605 - Provor CTS4 SUNA) equipped with a CTD and SUNA nitrate sensor was deployed near station B2 and sampled the anticyclonic eddy. To better resolve the photic and nutricline layers, the standard sampling cycle was modified to a 6-hour frequency, reaching depths of 300-400~m. The BGC-Argo float nitrate dataset spans May~2-16 and includes 55~profiles, with a 0.5 µM limit of quantification. It passed through a nitrate calibration procedure against 8 ship-made  profiles at B2 and B3. Data export in NetCDF format - Dataset at the 7 Lagrangian stations (28 vertical profiles for each variable, 4 at each station):  ‘BioSWOT-Med_LS_Date_Time.nc’ (with day, time, longitude and latitude);  ‘BioSWOT-Med_LS_Nutrients.nc’ (with nitrate, phosphate and phosphate at nanomolar level concentrations and depths);  'BioSWOT-Med_LS_CTD.nc' (with temperature in situ, practical salinity, chlorophyll-a and oxygen concentrations, photosynthetically active radiations and depth). - Dataset of the BGC-Argo float including 55 vertical profiles recorded between May 2 and 16:  'BioSWOT-Med_BGC-Argo' (with day and time, longitude, latitude; nitrate concentrations with associated depth; temperature in situ and practical salinity associated depth; chlorophyll-a concentrations with associated predepthssure; and oxygen concentrations with associated depth).
