Confidence in PAR at seabed values - Europe-wide

Raster showing a qualitative assessment of confidence in the photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) reaching the seabed, values in mol.phot.m^-2.d^-1.

Values are on a range from 1 (Low confidence) to 3 (High confidence). Layer created for use in the 2019 EUSeaMap, and updated in 2018 in order to cover Iceland and the Barents Sea

Datasets spatial extent covers European Seas including the Azores and Canary Islands, but excluding the eastern Baltic.

The method used to calculate this layer is described in Section 10.1.2 (part of the Confidence Appendix) of Populus et al (2016). EUSeaMap A European broad-scale seabed habitat map Final Report.
