webODV visualisations via WMS from the harmonized, standardized, validated data collections that EMODnet Chemistry is regularly producing and publishing for all European sea basins for eutrophication and contaminants. You can analyze, visualize, subset and download EMODnet Chemistry data using interactive webODV services. More information at: https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/chemistry#chemistry-services

EMODnet Chemistry aims to provide access to marine chemistry data sets and derived data products concerning eutrophication, ocean acidification, contaminants and litter. The chosen parameters are relevant for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), in particular for descriptors 5, 8, 9 and 10. These datasets contain standardized, harmonized and validated data collections of floating micro-litter. For floating micro-litter, the harmonized datasets contain all unrestricted EMODnet Chemistry data on floating micro-litter data. Data was harmonized by ‘Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale, Division of Oceanography (OGS/NODC)’ from Italy. Data is formatted following Guidelines and formats for gathering and management of micro-litter data sets on a European scale (floating and sediment micro-litter), which can be found at: https://doi.org/10.6092/d3e239ec-f790-4ee4-9bb4-c32ef39b426d. Parameter names in these datasets are based on P01, Parameter Usage Vocabulary, which is available at: https://vocab.seadatanet.org/p01-facet-search. Each measurement value has a quality flag indicator. The resulting data collections are harmonized, using ODV Software and following a common methodology for all Sea Regions. Harmonization means that: (1) unit conversion is carried out to express variables with a limited set of measurement units and (2) merging of variables described by different “local names”, but corresponding exactly to the same concepts in BODC P01 vocabulary. The harmonized dataset can be downloaded as ODV collection that can be opened with ODV software for visualization (More information can be found at: https://www.seadatanet.org/Software/ODV). The same dataset is offered as spreadsheet (txt format, tab separated values) where the values of the categories for the following reported parameters (type, shape, size, color, transparency and material) have been uniformed as labelled in the SeaDataNet H01, H02, H03, H04, H05, H06 vocabularies (https://vocab.seadatanet.org/search). This format is more adapted to worksheet applications (e.g. LibreOffice Calc).

This product displays for Triphenyltin, positions with values counts that have been measured per matrix and are present in EMODnet validated datasets. The product displays positions for all available years and per year.

This product displays for Hexachlorobenzene, positions with values counts that have been measured per matrix and are present in EMODnet validated datasets. The product displays positions for all available years and per year.

This product displays for Nickel, median values of the last 6 available years that have been measured per matrix and are present in EMODnet validated datasets. The median values ranges are derived from the following percentiles: 0-25%, 25-75%, 75-90%, >90%. Only "good data" are used, namely data with Quality Flag=1, 2, 6, Q (SeaDataNet Quality Flag schema). For water, only surface values are used (0-15 m), for sediment and biota data at all depths are used.

This product displays for Mercury, positions with values counts that have been measured per matrix and are present in EMODnet validated datasets. The product displays positions for all available years and per year.

This product displays for Fluoranthene, median values of the last 6 available years that have been measured per matrix and are present in EMODnet validated datasets. The median values ranges are derived from the following percentiles: 0-25%, 25-75%, 75-90%, >90%. Only "good data" are used, namely data with Quality Flag=1, 2, 6, Q (SeaDataNet Quality Flag schema). For water, only surface values are used (0-15 m), for sediment and biota data at all depths are used.
