title: HNODC-Po River-Water body dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN)-v2023-ANA

description: Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) - Seasonal Climatology for Po River for the period 1980-2020 on the domain: Lon E12.0-14.0deg., Lat N44.0-46.0deg. Data Sources: observational data from SeaDataNet/EMODNet Chemistry Data Network. Description of DIVA analysis: The computation was done with the DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions), version 2.7.9, using GEBCO 30sec topography for the spatial connectivity of water masses. The horizontal resolution of the produced DIVAnd maps grids is dx=dy=0.009 degrees (around 975m and 708m accordingly). The vertical resolution is 14 depth levels: [0., 2., 4., 6., 8., 10., 15., 20., 25., 30., 40., 50., 60., 70.]. A relative correlation length used based on topography gradients and the horizontal correlation length varies from 25 km to 12.5 km. The vertical correlation length (in meters) is: [4.,4.,4.,4.,4.,10.,10.,10.,10.,20.,20.,20.,20.,20.]. Duplicates check was performed using the following criteria for space and time: dlon=0.01deg., dlat=0.01deg., ddepth=0.01m, dtime=1min, dvalue=0.01. The error variance (epsilon2) was set equal to 1. Data weight was reduced at shallow waters. Data weighting was applied with the following threshold values: lon=0.03, lat=0.03, depth=2. An anamorphosis transformation was applied to the data (function DIVAnd.Anam.loglin) to avoid unrealistic negative values: threshold value=200. The mean value was used as background analysis field. Quality control of the observations was applied using the interpolated field (QCMETHOD=3). Residuals (differences between the observations and the analysis (interpolated linearly to the location of the observations) were calculated. Observations with residuals outside the minimum and maximum values of the 99% quantile were discarded from the analysis. Seasons definition: Winter=Jan-Mar, Spring=Apr-Jun, Summer=Jul-Sep, Autumn=Oct-Dec.
