The chemicals chosen reflect importance to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This regional aggregated dataset contains all unrestricted EMODnet Chemistry data on contaminants (49 parameters), and covers the Baltic Sea with 3818 CDI records divided per matrices: 1358 biota (396 Vertical profiles and 962 Time series),906 water profiles, 2510 sediment profiles. Vertical profiles temporal range is from 1985-04-16 to 2016-09-27. Time series temporal range is from 1972-05-02 to 2017-10-30. Data were aggregated and quality controlled by \u2018Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI)\u2019 from Sweden.\t\nRegional datasets concerning contaminants are automatically harvested. Parameter names in these datasets are based on P01, BODC Parameter Usage Vocabulary, which is available at: http:\/\/seadatanet.maris2.nl\/bandit\/browse_step.php . Each measurement value has a quality flag indicator. The resulting data collections for each Sea Basin are harmonised, and the collections are quality controlled by EMODnet Chemistry Regional Leaders using ODV Software and following a common methodology for all Sea Regions. \nHarmonisation means that: (1) unit conversion is carried out to express contaminant concentrations with a limited set of measurement units (according to EU directives 2013\/39\/UE; Comm. Dec. EU 2017\/848) and (2) merging of variables described by different \u201clocal names\u201d ,but corresponding exactly to the same concepts in BODC P01 vocabulary.\nThe harmonised dataset can be downloaded as ODV spreadsheet (TXT file), which is composed of metadata header followed by tab separated values. This worksheet can be imported to ODV Software for visualisation (More information can be found at: https:\/\/www.seadatanet.org\/Software\/ODV ).\nThe same dataset is offered also as XLSX file in a long\/vertical format, in which each P01 measurement is a record line. Additionally, there are a series of columns that split P01 terms in subcomponents (measure, substance, CAS number, matrix...).This transposed format is more adapted to worksheet applications users (e.g. LibreOffice Calc).\nThe 49 parameter names in this metadata record are based on P02, SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary, which is available at: http:\/\/seadatanet.maris2.nl\/v_bodc_vocab_v2\/vocab_relations.asp?lib=P02 .\nDetailed documentation will be published soon.\nThe original datasets can be searched and downloaded from EMODnet Chemistry Download Service: https:\/\/emodnet-chemistry.maris.nl\/search", "Organisations": [ "EMODnet Chemistry", "Aarhus University, Department of Bioscience, Marine Ecology Roskilde", "Estonian Environmental board", "Estonian Marine Institute", "Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency", "Federal Research Centre for Fisheries (Cuxhaven)", "Federal Research Centre for Fisheries (Hamburg)", "Finnish Environment Institute", "Finnish Institute of Marine Research (FIMR)", "Geological Survey of Estonia", "Geological Survey of Sweden, SGU", "German Hydrographic Institute", "IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute - Stockholm", "Institute of Geology and Geography of Nature Research Centre", "Latvian Institute of Aquatic Ecology", "Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnem\u00fcnde", "Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research, Warnem\u00fcnde", "State Agency for Environment, Nature and Geology, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern", "State Agency for Nature and Environment of Schleswig Holstein (LANU)", "State Office for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Areas of Schleswig Holstein (LLUR)", "State Office for Water Economy and Shore, Schleswig-Holstein, Kiel", "Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution: Department of Physical Oceanography", "Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI)" ], "Keywords": [ "\/Chemical Environment\/Contaminants", "Oceanographic geographical features", "Baltic Sea", "EMODnet Chemistry" ], "Parameters": [ "\n Concentration of polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) in the water column\n", "\n Chlorophyll pigment concentrations in water bodies\n", "\n Concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the water column\n", "\n Radioactivity in water bodies\n", "\n Dissolved total or organic phosphorus concentration in the water column\n", "\n Metals and metalloids\n", "\n Ammonium and ammonia concentration parameters in water bodies\n", "\n Zooplankton and zoobenthos morphological parameters\n", "\n Nitrate concentration parameters in the water column\n", "\n SeaDataNet biological format biotic parameters\n", "\n Concentration of other hydrocarbons in the water column\n", "\n Salinity of the water column\n", "\n Phaeopigment concentrations in the water column\n", "\n Concentration of inorganic sulphur species in sediment\n", "\n Biota lipid concentrations\n", "\n Organometallic species concentration parameters in biota\n", "\n Particulate metal concentrations in the water column\n", "\n Organometals\n", "\n Concentration of polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) in sediment samples\n", "\n Particulate total and organic nitrogen concentrations in the water column\n", "\n Pesticide concentrations in water bodies\n", "\n Organohalogens\n", "\n Nitrite concentration parameters in the water column\n", "\n Geotechnics\n", "\n Organometallic and organometalloid species concentration parameters in sediments\n", "\n Pesticide concentrations in biota\n", "\n Inorganic chemical composition of sediment or rocks\n", "\n Dissolved oxygen parameters in the water column\n", "\n Shellfish morphology, age and physiology\n", "\n Particulate total and organic carbon concentrations in the water column\n", "\n Sediment grain size parameters\n", "\n Concentration of polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) in biota\n", "\n Concentration of other organic contaminants in sediment samples\n", "\n Geological sample radioactivity\n", "\n Concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in biota\n", "\n Dissolved organic carbon concentration in the water column\n", "\n Concentration of other organic contaminants in the water column\n", "\n Sediment water content, porosity and surface area\n", "\n Hydrocarbons\n", "\n Silicate concentration parameters in the water column\n", "\n Concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediment samples\n", "\n Nitrogen concentrations in sediment\n", "\n Carbon concentrations in sediment\n", "\n Metal concentrations in biota\n", "\n Pesticide concentrations in sediment\n", "\n Dissolved total and organic nitrogen concentrations in the water column\n", "\n Pesticides\n", "\n Dissolved metal concentrations in the water column\n", "\n Lithology\n" ], "Bounding_Box_WestLongitude": 9.4342003, "Bounding_Box_NorthLatitude": 65.818298, "Bounding_Box_EastLongitude": 28.0271, "Bounding_Box_SouthLatitude": 53.708302, "Temporal_Extent_Begin": "2010-10-05", "OnlineResourceUrl": "\/search-details?step=~01275733b87-f3a1-486c-b728-541d3b769f66" }
