The integrated database on CD-Rom contains the most comprehensive data
set currently available for the Mediterranean and the Black seas for the
following parameters : temperature,
salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, ammonium,
alkalinity, pH, chlorophyll, hydrogen sulphide, total nitrogen, total
phosphorus. All the parameters have been visually and automatically checked for
quality according to a common protocol based on the international IOC, ICES and
MAST recommendations.
The CD-Roms also provide a climatological atlas calculated by using the
variational inverse method. Numerical gridded data, maps, vertical sections and
movies are delivered for the following climatologies : annual,
seasonal and monthly for temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen ; annual and
seasonal for silicate, phosphate and hydrogen sulphide (Black Sea only); annual
for nitrate, nitrite, pH, ammonium, alkalinity and chlorophyll
