| The
project has compiled and rescued historical data,
especially in the Eastern and Southern Mediterranean,
and includes data sets from the coastal areas. It
has made available comparable and compatible data
sets of temperature, salinity, oxygen, nitrate, nitrite,
ammonia, total nitrogen, phosphate, total phosphorus,
silicate, H2S, pH, alkalinity, chlorophyll-a profiles
by using a common protocol for formatting and quality
checking. Qualified value added products using efficient
gridding and mapping methodology have been prepared
and disseminated. The project has enhanced communication
between data managers and scientists to improve the
data circulation and contributed to develop a regional
capacity for scientific and operational programmes,
by enhancing the existing data management structures
through training in data qualifying, processing, mapping
and archiving.
