V1 Data Products
- identify available historical data sources for in-situ parameters
Select parameters based on accessibility, sufficiency, coverage and quality
Generate V1 products for selected parameters with traditional methods
- identify available data sources for remote sensing parameters
Select parameters based on their accessibility
Generate V1 products for these parameters with traditional methods
- collection of historical/recent data to avoid insufficient coverage
- collection of recent data for updating existing V1 data products
- upgrade of V1 products by assimilation of new data
- introduce DIVA for further work to upgrade V1 products to V2
… problems …
 data on chemical parameters are scarce for reliable climatic products
 official requests for data other than T/S produced no reply / refusal
 no sea currents data from moored buoys time series with public access
 gaps in SST and OC due to cloud coverage, SLA and SCA not available
 DIVA not used (consistency, implementation, data scarsity, cost)
 QAA not applied due to lack of (a) common approach (b) data flow

JRA 6 Black Sea
V2 Data Products
 problem to fulfill V2 requirements for chemical in situ parameters
- time scales : not enough data for all required monthly fields (in winter)
- space scales : coverage is regular, but coarse, sometimes limited coastal areas
 low-resolution basin-wide maps only for selected months and depths
 higher resolutions maps limited to North-West Black Sea
 problems with SLA and SCA data products
- data sets currently not available
 co-operation with other projects required, e.g. ECOOP, MyOcean
 problem with overlapping area
- selection of Sea of Marmara is questionable
- not part of either Med basin or Black Sea basin … beyond of responsibility of corresponding JRAs
 will extend the area of interest to the Sea of Marmara for SST and Chl-a
 problem of reformatting Data Products to NetCDF
- requires additional manpower
 data products upgrade

color bars span from -5 to +5 °C. The black dots are data points for the DIVA analyses.
JRA 8 North & Arctic Seas
V1 Data Products
 region originally divided in 8 sub-regions
i.e. Barents Sea, Norwegian Sea, Greenland Sea, Irminger Sea,
Iceland Sea (North of Iceland), Iceland Basin (South of Iceland),
North Sea and Skagerrak
Arctic Seas geographical boundaries
 focus on 3 basins: North Sea (+ Skagerrak), Barents Sea, Norwegian Sea
A common border zone, where data is exchanged, ensures a smooth transmission between sub-regions.
The western part of the Arctic will rely on the Global Ocean product due to lack of data in the area.
 North Sea and Barents Sea : first version of climatology (T, S)
Norwegian Sea to be processed …

VERSION 2 (V2) UPGRADES
… original SeaDataNet plans call for a re-assessment of the JRA data products, to be upgraded for a “final” V2 system …
JRA5. Quantity of input data for Mediterranean climatologies to be enlarged.
Advection constraint to be applied for production of different products.
JRA6. Reformatting to NetCDF.
JRA7. For the O2 variable, defined as [O2 - 2xSH2], the climatologies will use
density maps enabling isobar contours instead of depth contours.
JRA8. No upgrades planned.
JRA9. Compute statistics also on the vertical profiles, not only on the horizontal
gridded field, using a specific box size (1x1’ , 5x5’ , 1x1º). Such reference
vertical profiles are very usefully for QC purposes.
