JRA6: Black Sea Products
Objectives and expected impact:
Preparation and dissemination of regional statistical products like
mean, seasonal and monthly climatological fields and trends from
all available historical and recent data collected over the Black
Sea for:
• Improving of the data service to a wider range of users (modellers and
non-specialists);
• Quality checks of the observation data: residual problems in data are
detected by comparing with the gridded fields values;
• Check of coherence between climatologies and statistics computed in the
different regions;
• Check the technical performances of the SEADATANET system when
extracting snapshots of quality checked observation data from TAs, with a
foreseen 6 monthly period of updating the statistics.

Description of work:
• JRA6.1: Coordination of the activity including recommendations for
improving the methodology and for operating it in routine mode with
emphasis on the regional priorities;
• JRA6.2: Preparation and dissemination of best estimates of the
annual and seasonal statistics and trends on grid points of the sea
surface from co-located in-situ and satellite data transferred by
regular snapshots of the interconnected transnational in-situ and
satellite platforms: temperature, dynamic height/altimetry, salinity
(from 2007, when a satellite salinity sensor will be available), wind
and sea state, sea ice;
• JRA6.3: Preparation and dissemination of best estimates of the
annual and seasonal statistics and trends on grid points and on the
whole water column from in-situ observations: temperature,
salinity, current and biochemical parameters;
• JRA6.4: Quality checks and harmonization with the other regional
data products.
Foreseen Milestones:
• Month 6: Specification for regional products
• Month 11: First test results presented to the
Annual Workshop

NATO Black Sea Data Base
Black Sea Regional Historical Interdisciplinary Database
Black Sea inter-disciplinary multivariable
historical database was created in the
framework of the NATO TU-Black Sea
project in 1994-1997. It includes all main
physical, chemical and biological variables
for the entire Black Sea basin. Database
primarily covers the time period from 1963
(and in some cases earlier data sets) with
extensive data sets for 1973-1994.
