1. WP1: Data collection and metadata compilation in Mediterranean Sea EMODNET Chemistry 2, Kick-off meeting Trieste (Italy), 3-5 June 2013 Sissy Iona, HCMR-HNODC

2. Mediterranean partners

3. Outline EMODNet Chemistry I : Work Overview EMODNet Chemistry II – Initial Inventory Conclusions Actions

4. Mediterranean data pool >10.000 stations aggregated in the regional data pool 5 spots (Balearic Sea, Gulf of Lion, North Adriatic Sea, Gulf of Athens and NE Levantine basin )

5. EMODNet I Work Flow for data collection and products preparation Step 1 data collection & metadata compilation e.g CDI generation by each partner Step 2 data aggregation at regional pools (HCMR/HNODC, MHI, ICES) Step 3 further quality controls to the merged data sets with ODV Step 4 gridded data products and error maps preparation as NetCDF files (by 3 centres using DIVA)

6. per season per month, depth per year Data Analysis

7. Products definition Interpolated maps (by DIVA tool) – For homogeneous and sufficient data distribution in time and space such as basin scale data Time series plots (by ODV) – no homogeneous data distribution such as coastal monitoring stations or datasets with fragmented coverage

8. Diva products visualized by Ocean Browser, developed by GHER group (loaded as WMS)

9. Time series plots visualized by Ocean Browser, developed by GHER group (loaded as WMS)

10. Data access restriction Partners provide even restricted data to the Mediterranean regional data pool to be used for the products/climatologies generation. These data treated as restricted in case of user request through the CDI User Interface. Cases of MEDAR/MEDATLAS climatologies, MyOcean products

11. Outline EMODNet Chemistry I : Work Overview EMODNet Chemistry II – Initial Inventory Conclusions Actions

30. YugNIRO (Ukraine) Fertilisers and other nitrogen- and phosphorus-rich substances

31. Conclusions Improvement of data along coastline In general there is improvement of data coverage compared to the existing CDI archive New parameters within parameters groups like CO2, partial pressure of oxygen (for climate change studies), pH Improved national networking and coordination (Italy example)

32. Next Actions M0-M3 – Partners: start WP1- Data collection, metadata compilation (CDI preparation), provision of datasets in ODV format to regional pool leaders – Regional leaders: start analysis of spatial and temporal data coverage in coordination with WP3 to provide the monitoring requirements for the MSFD. Check with other regions for comparable results. M6 – Regional leaders: First results – Form a group for products validation before publication M13-M30 – Regional leaders: Development of new products for MSFD
