Moving 6-year analysis of Water body chlorophyll-a in the Baltic Sea. Four seasons (March-May, June-August, September-November, December-February). Every year of the time dimension corresponds to a 6-year centred average. Periods span between 1980-1985 and 2013-2018. Analyses for depths (m) (HELCOM standard depths): 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300. Data Sources: observational data from SeaDataNet/EMODnet Chemistry Data Network. Description of DIVA analysis: Geostatistical data analysis by DIVA (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis) tool. GEBCO Grid (30 arc-seconds) topography is used for the contouring preparation. Files contain analysed fields, error fields and combined field with the deepest value for each grid point selected. Also pre-masked fields using relative error threshold 0.3 and 0.5 are included. In the analyses the Correlation length in the horizontal direction were fixed to 80 km and in the vertical direction to 25 m. Signal to noise ratio were fixed to 1.0. Background fields were created using data for the given time period and season. Log transformation was used in the analyses. No detrending, advection constraints or weighting are applied. Unit is mg/m3.

The SeaDataCloud Temperature and Salinity historical data collection for the Baltic Sea V2 includes open access in situ data on temperature and salinity of water column. The data were retrieved from the SeaDataNet infrastructure during summer 2019. Data have been quality controlled according to the SeaDataNet2 project QC procedures in conjunction with the visual expert check using the ODV software. The final number of stations in the collection is 481695, containing around 14.4 million values for both temperature and salinity. The dataset format is ODV binary collection which you can read, analyse and export from with the ODV application provided by the Alfred Wegener institute at http://odv.awi.de/.
