1. An introduction to the EMIS-R Marine Analyst to assist in the management of European seas
Coordination:
Nicolas Hoepffner (JRC)
Scientific programming:
Pascal Derycke (JRC)

2. Environmental Marine Information System
EMIS is a Web geoportal providing easy access to spatial-temporal marine information and environmental indicators.

3. Spatial-temporal Marine database
The bulk of information and analysis delivered
by EMIS relies mainly on:
Satellite derived products
Numerical models data
Environmental marine indicators
+ Marine maps
NetCDF
XML
Spatial-temporal Marine database

10. Sea surface temperature (SST in degree-C): Sea surface temperature is the temperature of the water close to the sea surface. SST is a standard product from satellite-based thermal infra-red sensors, and optical sensors complemented with infrared bands.

12. Algal biomass (chlorophyll concentration, Chla in mg
Algal biomass (chlorophyll concentration, Chla in mg.m-3): Chlorophyll is a photosynthetic pigment commonly present in all phytoplankton species. It is used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass.

13. Chlorophyll concentration is a standard product from satellite-based optical sensors, usually retrieved from empirical algorithms using reflectance ratios at two or more wavebands.
