Dataset Name: OBS-SDM: Environmental predictors from observation for Species Distribution Models

Authors: Corentin Clerc (ETHZ)

Dataset description : Observation-based monthly climatologies of environmental predictors were interpolated on a common grid (i.e., 1 x 1 degree resolution, global scale, gap-filled). We consider monthly climatologies encompassing the 1900-2020 period and integrated over surface or epipelagic layers. These climatologies correspond to a set of features derived from in-situ measurements and satellite observations that are commonly used to characterize the physical (e.g., sea surface temperature), chemical (e.g., pH) and biological (e.g., chlorophyll-a concentration) conditions of water masses as well as their circulation and turbulence patterns (e.g., Eddy Kinetic Energy; EKE). All these features have been shown to have a major influence on the biology and spatial distribution of marine organisms, including plankton.

Delayed Time Level-4 monthly climatology of Eddy Kinetic Energy from sea surface height above Mean Sea Surface products from multi-satellite observations over Global Ocean. From January 1993 to the last extension of the Delayed-time products, the long delayed-time dataset allows to compute statistical means of seven variales over different periods of time. Data are created from daily Ssalto/Duacs and CMEMS products. Monthly averaged corresponds to the weekly maps of delayed-time data averaging month by month from January 1993. We obtain one file and one map per month since January 1993. Coverage : global (1/4°x1/4°, cartesian grid)

Treatment applied : regridded to a 1 x 1 degree resolution grid, averaged into a monthly climatology (1998-2020), and gap-filled (with yearly mean of the month with data at the location)

Variable : POC

Initial format : Author: Urs Hofmann Elizondo (urs.hofmann@usys.ethz.ch) I downloaded the surface POC as calculated by the GlobColour processor (https://hermes.acri.fr). The data products found in GlobColour are based on the merging of the sensors SeaWiFS, MODIS, MERIS, VIIRS-SNPP&JPSS1, OLCI-S3A&S3B. The data cover 01/09/1997 to 31/01/2021 for the ocean surface at a 4km X 4km resolution. The download was done using the script “Get_GlobColourPOC.sh”. Next, the individual files were merged into one, the multi-year monthly climatology was calculated, and the data were re-mapped to a 1°X1° resolution. These steps were done with the script “PrepareGlobColourPOC.py”. Associated reference according to the GlobColour product user guide: Stramski. D., R.A. Reynolds, M. Babin, S. Kaczmarek, M.R.
