Benthic Haploniscidae (Isopoda) collected around Iceland during the BIOICE, IceAGE, IceAGE2,IceAGE_RR and IceAGE3 expedtions in 1992-2020

Benthic Haploniscidae (Iopoda) in this data set were collected during BIOICE (Benthic invertebrates of Icelandic waters), IceAGE (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology), IceAge 2 (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology 2), IceAGE RR (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology Reykjanes Ridge) and IceAge 3 (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology cruises 3) projects during 1992- 2020
The marine environment around Iceland is a heterogenous habitat with many ridges, coral reefs and vents which is due to the region sensitive to climate change. 
Through a series of BIOICE cruises, extensive taxonomic knowledge as well as data about the distribution of the local marine fauna was gained and an extensive dataset was created. To further broaden the understanding about the local fauna, in 2011 the first cruise of the IceAGE project aimed to resample certain BIOICE stations. To further aid ecological research, new stations were added, abiotic parameters were measured, and genetic samples were collected. 
This dataset contains three haploniscidae genera and haploniscidae 13 which were collected around Iceland. Sampling was conducted at a depth between 64 m and 2750 m utilizing detritus sledges, triangle dredges and an Agassiz trawls during the BIOCE project and with an EBS (Epi benthos sledge) during the four IceAGE projects.
During the BIOICE detritus sledge samples underwent a series of different sieving steps but agassiz trawl and triangle dredge samples were hand-picked on board. Detritus sledge samples were afterwards tored in 5% buffered formalin (Brökeland et al., 2017). During the IceAGE projects sample were cooled on board of the research vessel until further processing. Hand-picked specimens were fixed with RNA later and undenatured 96% ethanol others were frozen for further analysis. Samples which underwent a sieving process were stored in 96% denatured ethanol.

North Sea - Eutrophication and Acidity aggregated datasets 1921/2020 v2021

EMODnet Chemistry aims to provide access to marine chemistry data sets and derived data products concerning eutrophication, acidity and contaminants. The chemicals chosen reflect importance to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). ITS-90 water temperature and Water body salinity variables have been also included (as-is) to complete the Eutrophication and Acidity data. If you use these variables for calculations, please refer to SeaDataNet for having the quality flags: https://www.seadatanet.org/Products/Aggregated-datasets . This aggregated dataset contains all unrestricted EMODnet Chemistry data on Eutrophication and Acidity (14 parameters with quality flag indicators), and covers the North Sea with 587584 CDI records. Data were aggregated and quality controlled by 'Aarhus University, Department of Bioscience, Marine Ecology Roskilde' from Denmark.
Regional datasets concerning eutrophication and acidity are automatically harvested and resulting collections are aggregated and quality controlled using ODV Software and following a common methodology for all Sea Regions ( https://doi.org/10.6092/9f75ad8a-ca32-4a72-bf69-167119b2cc12). When not present in original data, Water body nitrate plus nitrite was calculated by summing up the Nitrates and Nitrites. Same procedure was applied for Water body dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) which was calculated by summing up the Nitrates, Nitrites and Ammonium. Quality flags for Water body dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) should be disregarded since that currently they are not based on the original quality flags of nitrite, nitrate and ammonium.
Parameter names are based on P35, EMODnet Chemistry aggregated parameter names vocabulary, which is available at: https://www.bodc.ac.uk/resources/vocabularies/vocabulary_search/P35/.
Detailed documentation is available at: https://dx.doi.org/10.6092/4e85717a-a2c9-454d-ba0d-30b89f742713

Morphodynamics of Mediterranean Mixed Sand and Gravel Coasts

Multibeam imagery was collected with a Elac Seabeam 1185 echo sounder in March 2010. This multibeamecho sounder has beams as narrow as 1,5 x 1,5 degrees and a swathwidth in excess of 150 degrees. The data were corrected for heading, depth, pitch, heave, and roll with a redundant Meridian TSS/MAHRS system and with the Port Motril tidal gauge records.
ARCHYD dataset - ARCachon bay HYDrologic monitoring program

The ARCHYD dataset, which have been collected since 1988, represents the longest long-term hydrologic data sets in Arcachon Bay. The objectives of this monitoring programme are to assess the influence of oceanic and continental inputs on the water quality of the bay and their implications on biological processes. It also aims to estimate the effectiveness of management policies in the bay by providing information on trends and/or shifts in pressure, state, and impact variables. Sampling is carried on stations spread across the entire bay, but since 1988, the number and location of stations have changed slightly to better take into account the gradient of ocean and continental inputs. In 2005, the ARCHYD network was reduced to 8 stations that are still sampled by Ifremer to date. All the stations are sampled at a weekly frequency, at midday, alternately around the low spring tide and the high neap tide. Data are complementary to REPHY dataset. Physico-chemical measures include temperature, salinity, turbidity, suspended matters (organic, mineral), dissolved oxygen and dissolved inorganic nutrients (ammonium, nitrite+nitrate, phosphate, silicate). Biological measures include pigment proxies of phytoplankton biomass and state (chlorophyll a and phaeopigment).

Species richness, abundance and biomass data for assessing fish spillover from Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas

This dataset gathers total species richness, total abundance and total biomass of fishes recorded in six Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas in summer by underwater visual censuses performed on rocky areas at varying distances from the core of the MPA. Belt transects (25 x 5 m) were run parallel to the coast between 6 and 12 m depth, except in Tabarca Posidonia beds (50 x 5 m). Additionally, reduced fish species richness, abundance and biomass excluding zooplanktivorous fish species (Atherinidae, Clupeidae, Centracanthidae, Engraulidae, Pomacentridae, and the Sparidae Boops boops) were given as their fluctuating abundance and aggregative behavior may mask the effect of protection.

CTD Castaway shallow water cast Mexican North Caribbean/CACOMAPM-11/09/2019

A survey was carried out in the marine area southwest of Puerto Morelos, specifically in the area that corresponds to the Puerto Morelos Arrecife National Park. In order to study the marine currents and the associated phenomena, a route was made from the coast towards the open sea, up to approximately 2 km, a value far from that proposed in the planning because the climatic conditions were not favorable. This tour was carried out on September 11, 2019 in the morning, lasting approximately 2 hours, where measurements were made at 6 stations; From station 3 the swell began to be noticed, stations 4 and 5 were located inside the reef and the sixth station was on the dock. The variables measured were: temperature, wind direction and speed, relative humidity and turbidity. The CTD measurements were processed using contour & surface-mapping software surfer 8 to generate temperature profiles, and a map of the course was created in QGIS with the coordinates recorded with the GPS. Measurements of wind speed and direction made it possible to explain its influence on the general circulation of the sea surface.

CTD Castaway shallow water cast Mexican North Caribbean/ CAISTER VERANO 2019

This work consisted of making  CTD measurements on the coasts of Isla Mujeres, as well as in the lagoons called "las salinas". The main objective was to have records of temperature and salinity of the Isla Mujeres water bodies . So measurements were made with a Castaway Sontek CTD with a total of 68 measurements. The names of these lagoons "Las salinas" are; Laguna Makax and Salina Chica. The information was analyzed statistically and maps were made in geographic information systems QGIS. The results were that  “Las salinas” found salinity levels between 4.6 PSU and 12 PSU. The Makax lagoon is the body of water that registered higher salinity values ??(38.23 PSU on average) due to its proximity to the sea. The salinity of the sea that surrounds Isla Mujeres is 35.48 PSU on average.

Array of Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meters: data from the EMSO-Azores observatory, 2016-2017

This dataset contains current data acquired between September 2016 and July 2017 using 2 TCM3 Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meters installed next to the Tour Eiffel and Montségur hydrothermal vent sites. The TCM-3 Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meter from Lowell Instruments LLC (North Falmouth, MA, USA) measures current using the drag-tilt principle. The logger is buoyant and is anchored to the bottom via a short flexible tether. Drag from moving water tilts the logger in the direction of flow. The logger’s accelerometer and magnetometer channels are used to record the amount of tilt and direction of tilt (compass bearing). The array comprised 3 currentmeters, deployed near the Tour Eiffel, Montségur and White Castle hydrothermal vent sites (the instrument at White Castle did not recover data). The array is not connected to an energy node. The currentmeter's internal clocks are set to UTC time before deployment. Clock drift after recovery is not implemented in data but added as metadata in the file "Sites and Sensor metadata".

EMODnet Digital Bathymetry (DTM 2020) - Tile F2

The "EMODnet Digital Bathymetry (DTM)- 2020" is a multilayer bathymetric product for Europe’s sea basins covering:
•  the Greater North Sea, including the Kattegat and stretches of water such as Fair Isle, Cromarty, Forth, Forties,Dover, Wight, and Portland 
•  the English Channel and Celtic Seas  
•  Western Mediterranean, the Ionian Sea and the Central Mediterranean Sea 
•  Iberian Coast and Bay of Biscay (Atlantic Ocean) 
•  Adriatic Sea (Mediterranean) 
•  Aegean - Levantine Sea (Mediterranean). 
•  Madeira and Azores (Macaronesia) 
•  Baltic Sea 
•  Black Sea 
•  Norwegian and Icelandic Seas 
•  Canary Islands (Macaronesia) 
•  Arctic region and Barentz Sea

The DTM is based upon more than 16360 bathymetric survey data sets and Composite DTMs that have been gathered from 49 data providers from 24 countries riparian to European seas. Also Satellite Derived Bathymetry data products have been included derived from Landsat 8 and Sentinel satellite images. Areas not covered by observations are completed by integrating GEBCO 2020 and IBCAO V4. 
The source reference layer in the portal viewing service gives metadata of the data sets used with their data providers; the metadata also acknowledges the data originators. The incorporated survey data sets itself can be discovered and requested for access through the Common Data Index (CDI) data discovery and access service that in December 2020 contained > 30.000 survey data sets from European data providers for global waters. This discovery service makes use of SeaDataNet standards and services and have been integrated in the EMODnet portal (https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/bathymetry#bathymetry-services ). The Composite DTMs are described using the Sextant Catalogue Service that makes also use of SeaDataNet standards and services. Their metadata can be retrieved through interrogating the Source Reference map in the Central Map Viewing service (https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/geoviewer/ ). 
In addition, the EMODnet Map Viewer gives users wide functionality for viewing and downloading the EMODnet digital bathymetry such as:
• water depth (refering to the Lowest Astronomical Tide Datum - LAT) in gridded form on a DTM grid of 1/16 * 1/16 arc minute of longitude and latitude (ca 115 * 115 meters).
• option to view depth parameters of individual DTM cells and references to source data
• option to download DTM in 58 tiles in different formats: ESRI ASCII, XYZ, EMODnet CSV, NetCDF (CF), GeoTiff and SD
• option to visualize the DTM in 3D in the browser without plug-in
• layer with a number of high resolution DTMs for coastal regions
• layer with wrecks from the UKHO Wrecks database.

The EMODnet DTM is also available by means of OGC web services (WMS, WFS, WCS, WMTS), which are specified at the EMODnet Bathymetry portal.  
The original datasets themselves are not distributed but described in the metadata services, giving clear information about the background survey data used for the DTM, their access restrictions, originators and distributors and facilitating requests by users to originator.
