EMODnet Chemistry WP1: Data collection and metadata compilation in sea regions: current status Partner contribution: IMGW OM – Wlodzimierz Krzyminski Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey 1

General overview of the partner contribution: Current status General overview of the partner contribution: Seawater Sediment Biota Number of CDIs at beginning: Number of CDIs at year 1: 138 ? Number of CDIs at year 2: 138 ? (2726 CDIs sent last year and again in April 2015) Spatial distribution: Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey 2

Total number of stations per parameter group per matrix: Current status Total number of stations per parameter group per matrix: Group Seawater Sediment Biota Fertilizers NO2, NO3, NH4, SiO4, Ntot, Ptot) 2726 has been sent Silicates Included in above Organic matter Chlorophyll Partial pressure dissolved gases Acidity Pesticides and biocides Antifoulants Pharmaceuticals Heavy metals Hydrocarbons Radionuclides Plastics Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey 3

Data quality control performed by the data center: Type of QC: Seawater Sediment Biota Notes: Position check + Date check Missing value Range check Spike Pre-existing statistics Checked every year Visualization and manual checks Others: Data checked every year before its publication Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey 4

Difficulties encountered: 1. A lot of manual work. Many of data are not stored in the database what creates some errors and inconsistency between the sets of CDI and odv files. 2. Some problems with units selection. NEMO has been used to crate a header for odv files using vocabulary. We used simple unit mmol/dm3 while found difficulties with selection of the proper ones from vocabulary. 3. The change of the vocabulary required all odv correction.
