Quick search The dynamic table (matrix) below allows a quick and simple search on the EDIOS data. The table shows the range of variables and the geographical coverage of the stations / data series, that are described in the EDIOS directory at a glance. The intensity of the coloured squares (see the legend below the table) indicates the number of stations / series per country and/or per main sea-area (horizontal axis) where the chosen variable (vertical axis) has been collected. Clicking on a coloured square activates a query for that specific combination of variable and geographical area and the query results are presented in the EDIOS map interface.

Variables Biology Bacteria and viruses Biota composition Birds, mammals and reptiles Fish Microzooplankton Other biological measurements Phytoplankton Pigments Zoobenthos Zooplankton Chemistry Amino acids Carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus Carbonate system Dissolved gases Fatty acids Halocarbons (including freons) Hydrocarbons Isotopes Metal concentrations Nutrients Other inorganic chemical measurements Other organic chemical measurements PCBs and organic micropollutants Dynamics - Physics Acoustics Currents, sea level and waves Optical properties Water column temperature and salinity Other physical oceanographic measurement Sea temperature and salinity Geology - Geophysics Gravity, magnetics and bathymetry Sediment properties Sonar and seismics Suspended particulate matter Meteorology / Atmospheric chemistry Atmospheric chemistry Meteorology Cryosphere Multidisciplinary Fluxes Rate measurements (including production, Others Administration and dimensions

Legend - number of series"hits" for each variable. 0 1-20 21-50 51-100 101-250 251-500 501-1000 1001-2000 > 2000 Full Search: Apart from the Quick Search option, the EDIOS directory can by queried by using the versatile Full Search option, which enables the user to perform queries in a combination of alphanumeric and geographical criteria, fully supported by an integrated mapping application. Global Programs: The EDIOS Directory has a focus on ocean and marine observing systems operating in Europe. The current status and further detailed information relating to operational data collected under global programmes, for example, Argo, DBCP, GLOSS and SOOP is available from the JCOMMOPS website.
