Raster showing the average diffuse attenuation coefficient of photosynthetic active radiation (KDPAR) between 2005 and 2009, values in metres^-1. Data was collected by the MERIS satellite and this layer was created for use in the 2019 EUSeaMap. In 2018 the coverage was extended to Iceland and Barents Sea. In 2022 the coverage was extended to the Caspian Sea. Dataset's spatial extent covers European Seas including the Azores and Canary Islands, but excluding the eastern Baltic. The spatial resolution of the dataset is around 100m, but that of the original data source is around 250m. Created by the EMODnet Seabed Habitats consortium using data from the European Space Agency MERIS instrument.
