Visualization tools for real time water quality data have been developed (swell.fmi.fi/Algaline/about.html). The first demonstration product includes ferrybox data from passanger ferry Silja Serenade commuting between Helsinki, Finland and Stockholm, Sweden. Tools include python and R scripts for data transfer and visualization. Plots include transect plots and contour plots for last 1 month period and for the current year. Variables include Temperature, Salinity, CDOM, Chlorophyll a, Oxygen, Phycocyanin and Turbidity. Transect data shows also which parts of the data are flagged as bad quality data. A map showing transects and the current location of ship is also included.

This tool will visualise data collected during surveys and research cruises with the RV Cefas Endeavour focusing on chlorophyll a and phytoplankton functional types. It will make the link between the in-situ measurement and the Earth Observation and modelling and will develop the combined data set approach for the descriptors 1, 4, and 5 for MSFD. Primarily, developed in R shiny, with a tab for exploring each dataset, and a front page where datasets can be visualised concurrently, the tool will propose products using the outputs from the different approaches and will be included in the products and services Cefas portfolio.
