The two SOMLIT-Wimereux time-series data characterize hydrology and plankton biomass and diversity of the eastern English Channel near Boulogne sur mer, located at 50°40,75'N and 1°31,17'E and 1° 24,64'E . Fortnightly measurements have been undertaken since 1998 by a laboratory involving the CNRS, University of Lille and ULCO, named the Laboratory of Oceanology and Geoscience (UMR 8187 LOG) since 2008 (https://log.cnrs.fr). The SOMLIT-Wimereux observation station is a part of the French monitoring network SOMLIT (https://www.somlit.fr/), accredited by the CNRS as a national Earth Science Observatory (Service National d’Observation : SNO). It aims to detect the long-term evolution of these ecosystems including both natural and anthropogenic forcings. The development of a systematic approach to observing coastal environments is the result of local initiatives, based either on opportunities or on a tradition of scientific culture specific to each Marine Station / Marine Laboratory. The federation of these efforts by four French coastal stations (Roscoff, Arcachon-Bordeaux, Marseille, and Villefranche-sur-Mer), through RESOMAR, led to the establishment of the Service d'Observation en Milieu Littoral (SOMLIT) in 1995. In 1996, SOMLIT was accredited by the INSU (Ocean-Atmosphere domain), giving it the status of National Observation Service (SNO). The first banked data appeared in January 1997. Following new evaluations, SOMLIT was again accredited in 2001, 2005, 2009, 2015, and 2020. Since its creation, various Marine Stations have joined SOMLIT:  1996: Roscoff, Arcachon-Bordeaux, Marseille, and Villefranche-sur-Mer  1997 : Banyuls-sur-Mer  1998 : Wimereux and Brest  2007 : Luc-sur-Mer  2011 : La Rochelle  2012 : Dinard  2015 : Sète  2017 : the station of Anglet started the acquisition of SOMLIT parameters. It is not yet in the labelled perimeter. SOMLIT currently includes 11 Marine Stations / Marine Laboratories within its certified perimeter and a Marine Station that acquires data according to SOMLIT protocols. In addition to the acquisition of all the parameters collected under the SNO SOMLIT, additional samples are taken by some LOG researchers to support other SNOs (PHYTOBS, U. Christaki) and related research activities related to the characterization of microbial diversity using molecular tools (S. Monchy & U. Christaki), microbial and phytoplanktonic dynamics using automated approaches (F. Artigas), photosynthetic activity using automated variable fluorescence (F. Lizon) and zooplankton diversity (A. Delegrange). Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI.

The (JGOFS)-[http://ijgofs.whoi.edu/]), 2, focus on small scale biogeochemical processes, in particular at a daily scale, 3, study the influence of nitrogen, phosphorus and iron on oceanic fertility and 4, conduct a calibration/validation operation for the SeaWIFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor) color sensor. To reach these objectives, the studied areas, as well as the cruise plan, were designed : To investigate different trophic regimes, to investigate systems characterized by different degrees of limitation in nitrogen and phosphorus and to study stable ("steady state") systems for a sufficiently long period. The cruise track encompassed a variety of trophic systems ranging from eutrophic conditions associated to the Moroccan upwelling to the typical ultra-oligotrophic conditions of the eastern Mediterranean sea during summer stratification. Two main types of stations were occupied : 9 short (4-hour) stations. These sites were occupied around the solar noon and were essentially designed to conduct objectives 1 (JGOFS process studies) and 4 (SeaWIFS validation/calibration) 3 "long" (5-day) stations, where all four objectives were investigated with a particular emphasis on objectives 2 (processes at a daily scale) and 3 (nutrient resources and oceanic fertility). Between each station, continuous multiparametric (hydrological, optical, biological and chemical) surface acquisitions were performed.

The ocean constitutes a minor source of atmospheric carbon monoxide (CO) at the global scale, but could play an important role far from continental anthropized emission zones. Here we use the NEMO-PISCES (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean, Pelagic Interaction Scheme for Carbon and Ecosystem Studies) ocean general circulation and biogeochemistry model to dynamically assess the oceanic CO budget and its emission to the atmosphere at the global scale. The main bio-chemical sources and sinks of oceanic CO are explicitly represented in the model. The main processes driving the CO concentration are photoproduction and bacterial consumption and are estimated to 19.2 and 21.9?Tg?C?yr-1 respectively with our best-guess modelling setup. There are however very large uncertainties on their respective magnitude. Despite the scarcity of the in situ CO measurements in terms of spatio-temporal coverage, the proposed best simulation is able to represent most of the data (~?300 points) within a factor of two. Overall, the global emissions of CO to the atmosphere are 3.6?Tg?C?yr-1, in the range of recent estimates, but very different from the ones published by Erickson in 1989, which were the only gridded global emission available to date. These oceanic CO emission maps are relevant for use by atmospheric chemical models, especially to study the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere above the remote ocean.

Samples for phytoplankton analyses are collected by employees responsible for farming at musselfarms/aquaculture to monitor the presence and abundance of toxin-producing phytoplankton. These samples are submitted to SMHI on a bi-weekly basis from mussel farms/aquaculture in coastal areas off the west coast of Sweden. On each sampling occasion two samples from plankton net trawls are pooled in addition to a sample collected with a cylindrical water sampler for integrated sampling 0-10 m. The main attributes are phytoplankton (specifically phycotoxin producing) species composition, biovolumes and abundance. The sampling and data is important for monitoring potential health risks for consumers from biotoxins in the musselfarm/aquaculture processes.
