Progress Report

Chemical Lot

Alessandra Giorgetti (OGS)

EMODNET Chemical lot is based on SeaDataNet network of NODC’s

The tender for Chemical data has been prepared by:

• A subgroup of NODC's that oversee data collection for the requested geographic areas

• The technical partners who further develop and run SDN infrastructure

• Specific expertise who coordinate data analyses and validation, and the creation of data products

The largest consortium including 25 partners

Second six-monthly progress meeting, 25 May 2010

Proposed strategy

The following strategy was proposed as approach for the EMODNET pilots, based on SeaDataNet experience:

Develop a high-end dedicated portal, outfitted with a powerful spatial database, that is complemented with WMS, WFS and WCS services (OGC) to serve users and to provide layers for e.g. the other EMODNET portals, the prototype European Atlas of the Seas, and the broad-scale European Marine Habitats map; Provide data sets for producing interpolated maps with specific resolution for each geographical region, that are loaded and integrated afterwards into the portals’ spatial database;Include a metadata discovery service in the portal, by adopting the SeaDataNet CDI metadata standard, that inter alia gives clear information about the background data, the access restrictions and distributors; this also ensures the connection of the EMODNET portals with the SeaDataNet distributed infrastructure.


EMODNET Chemical lot uses SeaDataNet V1 infrastructure for the technical set-up:

• SDN Standards for background data, metadata and product,

• CDI mechanism to access data with data policy,• ODV format for background data exchange,• SDN Security Services for users registrations,

and SDN Delivery Services for data access and downloading,

• DIVA software tool to produce gridded data products and error maps as NetCDF files,

• SDN Products catalogue (CAMIOON system) and SDN Products viewing services for free unlimited discovery, access, visualization and downloading of data products.


New elements developed for EMODNET Chemical pilot:

• SDN Vocabulary extended (P021 for CDI and P061 for units covers all chemical parameters selected) - METADATA• SDN Vocabulary extended (P011 for ODV) - DATA• EMODNET Chemical portal – operational• EMODNET Chemical CDI directory –populated• EMODNET Chemical CDI User Interface - launched• EMODNET Products Viewing Services – launched• EMODNET Products Discovery Services – launched• ODV/DIVA software is used to produce integrated maps

Data collection started with nutrients in the water column,

then extended to all other selected chemicals in the water column (organic matter – DOC and TN, …),

and to synthetic compounds, hydrocarbons and heavy metals in the sediments and biota (considering the target species MYTILUS).

TARGET FOR 3 REGIONS, data distribution is different

All partners produced ODV files for the regional task leaders (AWI, MHI, HCMR)

All partners produced CDI entries for User interface

Maps generation started with nutrients in the water column (3 regions),

then extended to other chemicals in the water column,

and to synthetic compounds, hydrocarbons and heavy metals in the sediments and biota (considering the target species MYTILUS).

The definition of common QC/QA procedures.

The definition of common products (regional scales following data availability, global/common scale: depth, grid, time).

WP3 – QC/QA and products



Guidelines DIVA maps production

The aim for the guidelines for the DIVA maps production:

To establish a common basis for the maps production with focus on the pre-processing of data and the validation of the produced maps.

The guidelines is divided into four steps:1. Data extraction2. Pre-processing of data3. Maps production4. Validation of the produced maps

Metadata Discovery and Downloading service – May 2010

Data Products Viewing and Downloading service – May 2010

Web portal – Core services (Data Products)

EMODNET Chemical pilot represent a great challenge:

It is undertaken by a large partnership, needs coordination but bring long-term expertise in collecting, processing, management and giving access to datasets and products

The complexity of the measurements covering 8 groups (pesticides, antifoulants, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals , hydrocarbons, radionuclides, fertilisers, organic matter) on 3 matrices (sediment, water column and biota)

Data collection with priority list to get a first release (a proof of concepts)

The cooperation with EEA and Marine Conventions (OSPAR, HELCOM and BSC) is crucial for data assembling, products definition and QC/QASecond six-monthly progress meeting, 25 May 2010

Difficulties represented by data

complexity of the measurements related to different environment

heterogeneity of the sampling (coastal points in time) makes it critical the use of DIVA standard interpolation

Experts and potential users opinion is expected to define the set of product from chemical data

Close cooperation is undergoing with biological lot (OGC standards) for products exchange/merge/harmonization
