Climatologies on the North Sea using DIVA
JRA8 North Seas, Arctic Sea
Bathymetry: GEBCO Centenary edition 1’ x 1’ database gridded using DIVA, w/o downsampling
Some 'aesthetic' and practical problems due to lowlands manually removed.
World Ocean Database
Surface temperature in January
Surface temperature in February
Harmonization (1):
Overlap with other zones
Contacts:

Harmonization (2): Datasets
• WODB: extracted early in 2007 to be updated
• ICES: request to be send | dataset to be extracted
Same sources of information than Berx B & S.L. Hughes†, ‘Climatology of surface and Near-bed temperature and salinity on the NW European continental shelf for 1971-2000’ presented at ICES SC 2008. † Fisheries Research Services, Aberdeen
Results:• available at www.seadatanet.be (for the moment,
animations only)• Update by mid-April
To do (V1):• To update (and hopefully ‘freeze’) the raw dataset (!
Overlap zones)• To check the input data (duplicates!)• To run Diva and tune the parameters (‘objective’ or
aesthetic?)• To document and report• To make all products available
V2: Availabilty of data?
