WP1: Data collection and metadata compilation in Mediterranean
Sea EMODNET Chemistry 2, Kick-off meeting Trieste (Italy), 3-5 June
2013 Sissy Iona, HCMR-HNODC
Slide 2
Mediterranean partners
Slide 3
Outline EMODNet Chemistry I : Work Overview EMODNet Chemistry
II Initial Inventory Conclusions Actions
Slide 4
Mediterranean data pool >10.000 stations aggregated in the
regional data pool 5 spots (Balearic Sea, Gulf of Lion, North
Adriatic Sea, Gulf of Athens and NE Levantine basin )
Slide 5
EMODNet I Work Flow for data collection and products
preparation Step 1 data collection & metadata compilation e.g
CDI generation by each partner Step 2 data aggregation at regional
pools (HCMR/HNODC, MHI, ICES) Step 3 further quality controls to
the merged data sets with ODV Step 4 gridded data products and
error maps preparation as NetCDF files (by 3 centres using
DIVA)
Slide 6
per season per month, depth per year Data Analysis
Slide 7
Products definition Interpolated maps (by DIVA tool) For
homogeneous and sufficient data distribution in time and space such
as basin scale data Time series plots (by ODV) no homogeneous data
distribution such as coastal monitoring stations or datasets with
fragmented coverage
Slide 8
Diva products visualized by Ocean Browser, developed by GHER
group (loaded as WMS)
Slide 9
Time series plots visualized by Ocean Browser, developed by
GHER group (loaded as WMS)
Slide 10
Data access restriction Partners provide even restricted data
to the Mediterranean regional data pool to be used for the
products/climatologies generation. These data treated as restricted
in case of user request through the CDI User Interface. Cases of
MEDAR/MEDATLAS climatologies, MyOcean products

two french labs (SISMER and DYNECO) from Ifremer which provide
data for EMODNET Chemistry 3923 coastal stations: Acidity,
Antifoulants, Chl, Partial pressures of dissolved gases,
fertilizers, Heavy metals, Hydrocarbons, Organic matter, Pesticides
and biocides Silicates IFREMER-DYNECO(France)
HCMR (Greece) (not final data sets, biota not included) 62
sediment stations of heavy metals 4023 water column stations of
Radionuclides, Hydrocarbons, Fertilizers, Organic Matter,
Chlorophyll, Silicates, Dissolved Gasses, Acidity, Heavy
metals

Slide 31
Conclusions Improvement of data along coastline In general
there is improvement of data coverage compared to the existing CDI
archive New parameters within parameters groups like CO2, partial
pressure of oxygen (for climate change studies), pH Improved
national networking and coordination (Italy example)
Slide 32
Next Actions M0-M3 Partners: start WP1- Data collection,
metadata compilation (CDI preparation), provision of datasets in
ODV format to regional pool leaders Regional leaders: start
analysis of spatial and temporal data coverage in coordination with
WP3 to provide the monitoring requirements for the MSFD. Check with
other regions for comparable results. M6 Regional leaders: First
results Form a group for products validation before publication
M13-M30 Regional leaders: Development of new products for MSFD
