Harmonization (1): Overlap with other zones Contacts: East: Marc North: Gaynor South: Christine
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?
