Created for use in the 2019 EUSeaMap, and updated in 2018 in order to cover Iceland and the Barents Sea. In 2022 the coverage was extended to the Caspian Sea. Dataset's spatial extent covers European Seas including the Azores and Canary Islands, but excluding the eastern Baltic. Created by ACRI-ST under contract to the EMODnet Seabed Habitats consortium using data from the European Space Agency MERIS instrument. From Salquin et al (2013): "Daily mean PAR (in mol┬Àphotons┬Àd-1┬Àm-2) was evaluated using the algorithm developed by Frouin in 1989 and updated in 2011 for MERIS using Level 1 Reduced Resolution [1km]. The daily fields are averaged temporally over the period 2005 to 2009." Created for use in modelling of biological zones for EUSeaMap 2016 EMODnet Seabed Habitats, derived by ACRI-ST from the European Space Agencies (ESA) MERIS project Mickael Vasquez Ifremer Mickael.Vasquez@ifremer.fr thumbnail large_thumbnail Light Earth observation Surface PAR Marine habitat mapping Light at the sea surface Habitats and biotopes GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.httpinspireeceuropaeutheme-theme Data is freely available for research or commercial use providing that the originators are acknowledged in any publications produced 400000 1000 eng environment 2005-01-01T10:52:00 2009-12-31T10:52:00 -45.99373 42.01863 19.983413 71.99583 0 0 GeoTiff unknown https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0034425712003847 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Article: Estimation of light attenuation https://files.emodnet-seabedhabitats.eu/data/surface_par_all_europe.zip WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link EMODnet Seabed Habitats download false undefined
