Gridded product for visualization of Water body phosphate in the Black Sea generated by DIVA 4.6.9 using all EMODNET Chemistry data from 1960 to 2013. Depth range (IODE standard depths): 0 – 200m. DIVA settings: signal-to-noise ratio and correlation length were estimated using data mean distance as a minimum (for L), and both parameters vertically filtered. Background field: the data mean value is subtracted from the data. Detrending of data: no. Advection constraint applied: no. Every year of the time dimension corresponds to a 10-year centred average for each season: - winter: December - February, - spring: March - May, - summer: June - August, - autumn: September – November Units: umol/l

The SDC_BLS_CLIM_TS_V2 product contains Temperature and Salinity Climatologies for Black Sea including the seasonal and monthly fields for period 1955-2019 and seasonal fields for 6 decades starting from 1955 to 2019. The climatic fields were computed from the integrated Black Sea dataset that combines data extracted from the 3 major sources: 1) SeaDataNet infrastructure, 2) World Ocean Database, and 3) Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis. The computation was done with the DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions), version 2.6.4.

The climatic fields were computed from the integrated Black Sea dataset that combines data extracted from the 3 major sources: 1) SeaDataNet infrastructure, 2) World Ocean Database 2018, and 3) Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis. The computation was done with the DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions), version 2.3.1.

Combined product of Water body ammonium based on DIVA 4D 10-year analysis on five regions : Northeast Atlantic Ocean, North Sea, Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea. The boundaries and overlapping zones between these five regions were filtered to avoid any unrealistic spatial discontinuities. This combined Water body ammonium product is masked using the relative error threshold 0.5. Units: umol/l.
