SeaDataNet aggregated datasets over the Atlantic Ocean

The SeaDataNet aggregated datasets over the Atlantic Ocean are regional ODV historical collections of all temperature and salinity measurements contained within SeaDataNet database and covering 3 European sea basins: North Arctic Ocean, North Sea, North Atlantic Ocean. Two versions have been published during SeaDataNet 2 and they represent a snapshot of the SeaDataNet database content at two different times: • V1.1 January 2014 • V2 March 2015 Each of them is the result of the Quality Check Strategy (QCS) implemented during SeaDataNet 2 that contributed to highly improve the quality of temperature and salinity data. The QCS is made by four main phases:

1. data harvesting from the central CDI
2. file and parameter aggregation
3. quality check analysis at regional level
4. analysis and correction of data anomalies. The aggregated datasets have been prepared and quality checked using ODV software.
