Light (PAR) at the seabed - Europe-wide
Raster showing the photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) reaching the seabed, values in mol.phot.m^-2.d^-1. Derived by multiplying the fraction of surface light reaching the seabed by the amount of light at the sea surface. Layer created for use in the 2019 EUSeaMap, and updated in 2018 in order to cover Iceland and the Barents Sea. Dataset's spatial extent covers European Seas including the Azores and Canary Islands, but excluding the eastern Baltic.
Created by the EMODnet Seabed Habitats consortium using data from the European Space Agency MERIS instrument.
