Water Transparency (Diffuse attenuation coefficient at 490nm, Kd490 in m^-1): The diffuse attenuation coefficient Kd490 measures the light penetration in the water column at the blue-green wavelengths (ca. 490 nm). It represents a good indicator of water trans...

Monthly climatology Mixed Layer Depth (in m) derived from the different GETM hydrodynamic model implementations for EU regional seas. MLD is computed as the depth where potential seawater density (kg/m3) differs by 0.1 from the surface value. It indicates the ...

Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR in Einstein.m^-2.day^-1 at 4km resolution): PAR is defined as the quantum energy flux from the sun in the spectral range 400 to 700 nm, usable in the process of photosynthesis by phytoplankton, benthic algae and seagras...

Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR in Einstein.m^-2.day^-1 at 2km resolution): PAR is defined as the quantum energy flux from the sun in the spectral range 400 to 700 nm, usable in the process of photosynthesis by phytoplankton, benthic algae and seagras...

Absorption Coefficient of Phytoplankton at 443nm (aph in m^-1 at 4km resolution): The absorption coefficient aph represents the fraction of incident light absorbed by phytoplankton organisms. It is an index of variability of the phytoplankton biomass in marine...

Monthly mean sea surface Chlorophyll-a concentration (in mg.m^-3 (log10) at 2km resolution) derived from the MERIS sensor (Satellite remote sensing Ocean color data): Chlorophyll is a photosynthetic pigment commonly present in all phytoplankton species. I...

Mediterranean Sea 50 years mean spatial eutrophication map, as captured by the TRIX indicator. (c.f.:Alternative assessments of large scale Eutrophication using ecosystem simulations: hind-casting and scenario modelling - STIPS Adolf, MACIAS MOY Diego, GARCIA ...

The favourable feeding habitat for the nurseries of hake (total length below 15 cm) is daily identified linking their ecological traits with environmental variables from satellite remote sensing and physical ocean models. The feeding habitat is mostly related ...

The forest morphology is measured with a set of 4 indicators derived from the Morphological Spatial Pattern Application (MSPA) of the GUIDOS software (Soille and Vogt, 2009) with a width of 1 pixel: Core, Edge, Linear, Islet. The forest mosaic is measured with...

Two dateset are presented. The first dataset is in raster format and shows the EU-building density map in 100  m ×100 m resolution raster, (building area in m2 per 10 000 m2 or hectare) for all Europe . The second datasets is a vector format and provides the m...

This spatial raster dataset depicts the distribution/density of population, expressed as the number of people per cell, during night-time and daytime for each month of 2011. The grids are produced by estimating the regional and monthly stocks of population sub...

The present dataset gives quantitative and qualitative information on the local mitigation policies implemented to achieve the 20% carbon reduction target (as in the first CoM timeframe) by local authorities who had submitted a Monitoring Emission Inventory by...
