The data reported in WFD2010 were updated using data reported in WFD2016, whenever the spatial objects are identical in 2010 and 2016. For WFD2010 objects, some information may be missing, if the objects no longer exist in the 2nd River Basin Management Plans, and were not reported in WFD2016. Where available, spatial data related to the 3rd RBMPs due in 2022 (hereafter WFD2022) was used to update the WFD2016 data. See https://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/780 for further information on the WFD2022 reporting. Note: * This dataset has been reported by the member states. The subsequent QC revealed some problems caused by self-intersections elements. Data in GPKG-format should be processed using QGIS.

Waterbase - Biology, 2024

Waterbase serves as the EEA’s central database for managing and disseminating data regarding the status and quality of Europe's rivers, lakes, groundwater bodies, transitional, coastal, and marine waters. It also includes information on the quantity of Europe’s water resources and the emissions from point and diffuse sources of pollution into surface waters. Specifically, Waterbase - Biology focuses on biology data from rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal waters collected annually through the Water Information System for Europe (WISE) – State of Environment (SoE) reporting framework. The data are expected to be collected within monitoring programs defined under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and used in the classification of the ecological status or potential of rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal water bodies. These datasets provide harmonised, quality-assured biological monitoring data reported by EEA member and cooperating countries, as Ecological Quality Ratios (EQRs) from all surface water categories (rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal waters).

GISCO - Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics 2021 (NUTS 2021), May 2021

The 'GISCO NUTS 2021' data set represents the NUTS 2021 regulation and statistical regions by means of multipart polygon, polyline and point topology. The NUTS geographical information is completed by attribute tables and a set of cartographic help lines to better visualize multipart polygonal regions. The NUTS nomenclature is a hierarchical classification of statistical regions defined by Eurostat. The NUTS classification subdivides the EU economic territory into 3 statistical levels. The NUTS 2021 classification has been established through the Commission Delegated Regulation 2019/1755, which entered into force on 8th August 2019 and applies from 1st January 2021. A non official NUTS-like classification has been defined for the EFTA countries and the candidate countries. At present, six scale ranges (100K, 1M, 3M, 10M and 20M, 60M) are maintained in the GISCO geodatabase. The polygon and boundary classes delineate the regions, while the points provide an anchor for each region. Associated tables contain basic information such as the name of the region. The public data set will be available at 1M, 3M, 10M, 20M, 60M, while the full data set at 100K is restricted. The data set covers EU Member States, EFTA countries, EU candidate countries and the UK. Following the departure of the UK from the European Union, the UK is no longer flagged as an EU Member State but retains its place in the NUTS and statistical regions data set. This dataset (NUTS_2021) is derived from the EuroBoundary Map 2020 (EBM2020) from Eurogeographics as well as GISCO NUTS 2016 (from Türkiye). The list of NUTS2021 codes including changes with respect to NUTS2016 is available on https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/345175/629341/NUTS2021.xlsx. The public metadata for NUTS 2021 released by Eurostat is available here: https://gisco-services.ec.europa.eu/distribution/v2/nuts/nuts-2021-metadata.xml. This revision (May 2021) includes minor changes in the dataset such as (see https://gisco-services.ec.europa.eu/distribution/v2/nuts/nuts-2021-release-notes.txt): * 2020-10-05 Point snapping is disabled in all datasets, number of decimals increased for 01M datasets. * 2020-11-18 Inclusion of Jan Mayen and Svalbard in to Norways Statistical Regions.

High resolution aircraft measurements of wind and temperature during the MOSAIC-ACA campaign in 2020

During the MOSAiC-ACA campaign conducted in August/September 2020 in Svalbard meteorological data (temperature, 3 wind components, air pressure) have been measured in high temporal resolution (100 Hz) using instrumentation that was installed at the nosebooms of Polar 5. For each flight the data are given as functions of time and position (including height above ground) along the flight tracks. All flights started and ended in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Each file represents an entire flight starting well before the first movement of the plane and ending after the final parking position has been reached after landing. The wind measurement is only valid during flight and the full accuracy is only achieved during straight level flight sections. The absolute accuracy of the wind components is 0.2m/s for straight and level flights sections and the relative accuracy of the vertical wind speed is about 0.05m/s for straight and level flight sections. For these sections, which can be obtained on the basis of the given roll and pitch angles of the aircraft, the 100 Hz data can be used to derive turbulent fluxes of momentum and sensible heat. For further informations on the data processing and accuracy of the turbulence measurement refer to Hartmann et al. (2018, doi:10.5194/amt-11-4567-2018).

Continuous water level observations at station BEFmate_S10pio, 2020-01 to 2023-09

Data presented here were collected between 2020-01 and 2023-09 at station BEFmate_S10pio within the research unit DynaCom (Spatial community ecology in highly dynamic landscapes: From island biogeography to metaecosystems, https://uol.de/dynacom/ ) involving the Universities of Oldenburg, Göttingen, and Münster, the iDiv Leipzig and the Nationalpark Niedersächsisches Wattenmeer. Experimental islands and saltmarsh enclosed plots were established in the back-barrier tidal flat and in the saltmarsh zone of the island of Spiekeroog (Germany). Groundwater levels at different elevation zones were measured using pressure loggers deployed in dip wells within the experimental islands as well as in the saltmarsh enclosed plots. Measurements were obtained using Hobo U20L Water Level Loggers (Onset Computer Corporation, Bourne, MA/USA). All devices were pre-calibrated by the manufacturer. Logged data were retrieved in the field using a Hobo Underwater Shuttle (U-DTW-1) and were read out with the HOBOware Pro (V3.7.28) software, Subsequent data processing was done using MATLAB (R2024b). Atmospheric pressure correction for water-level calculations was applied using data from a nearby weather station. Post-processing and quality control included (a) the removal of data covering maintenance activities, (b) an outlier detection, and (c) visual checks. Outliers in water level and temperature time series were detected using a moving-median filter and a 3-sigma criterion, with additional cross-checking against a reference sensor. Identified outliers were removed, and height-corrected water level series were produced to ensure consistency across sensors and years.

Resistivity models inverted from Time-Domain Controlled-Source Electromagnetic (TD-CSEM) data from the southeastern North Sea acquired during expedition AL611

Surface-towed time-domain controlled-source electromagnetic (TD-CSEM) data were acquired during expedition AL611 in the southeastern North Sea to map subseafloor electrical resistivity. The survey used a 100 m horizontal electric-dipole transmitter and two inline electric-field receivers towed at ~250 m and ~500 m offsets (SWAN system, Pestoressa et al., 2023). Transients (2 s period, 50% duty) were processed for timing alignment, transient selection and filtering, DC-offset removal, stacking, and logarithmic gating. Two-dimensional resistivity models were obtained with an extended time-domain implementation of MARE2DEM (Haroon et al., 2018; Key, 2016); parameter details are documented in the metadata. The dataset includes processed TD-CSEM inputs and inversion results both as SEGY and XYZ files with embedded positions.

Sentinel-5P TROPOMI – Aerosol Layer Height (ALH), Level 3 – Global

Aerosols are an indicator for episodic aerosol plumes from dust outbreaks, volcanic ash, and biomass burning. Daily observations are binned onto a regular latitude-longitude grid. The Aerosol layer height is provided in kilometres. The TROPOMI instrument onboard the Copernicus SENTINEL-5 Precursor satellite is a nadir-viewing, imaging spectrometer that provides global measurements of atmospheric properties and constituents on a daily basis. It is contributing to monitoring air quality and climate, providing critical information to services and decision makers. The instrument uses passive remote sensing techniques by measuring the top of atmosphere solar radiation reflected by and radiated from the earth and its atmosphere. The four spectrometers of TROPOMI cover the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), Near Infra-Red (NIR) and Short Wavelength Infra-Red (SWIR) domains of the electromagnetic spectrum. The operational trace gas products generated at DLR on behave ESA are: Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Formaldehyde (HCHO), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Methane (CH4), together with clouds and aerosol properties. This product is created in the scope of the project INPULS. It develops (a) innovative retrieval algorithms and processors for the generation of value-added products from the atmospheric Copernicus missions Sentinel-5 Precursor, Sentinel-4, and Sentinel-5, (b) cloud-based (re)processing systems, (c) improved data discovery and access technologies as well as server-side analytics for the users, and (d) data visualization services.

CRM-geothermal Database: Geoscientific and Geochemical Data on Geothermal Systems, with Emphasis on Fluids and Critical Raw Materials in Europe and Eastern Africa

The CRM-geothermal database was created within the Horizon Europe CRM-geothermal project (Grant Agreement No. 101058163) to support the assessment of geothermal systems as sources of both renewable energy and critical raw materials (CRMs). The primary purpose of data collection was to compile, harmonise, and make openly available geoscientific and geochemical data relevant to the occurrence, enrichment, and potential co-production of CRMs from geothermal environments in Europe and East Africa. The database integrates legacy data compiled from peer-reviewed literature, national geological and geothermal databases, and previous European research projects (notably REFLECT), together with new data generated by project partners through field sampling and laboratory analyses. Sampling campaigns targeted geothermal wells and surface manifestations in selected regions, including Türkiye, the East African Rift (Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi), Cornwall (UK), and Iceland. Laboratory analyses include major ion chemistry, trace and critical element concentrations, mineralogical composition, and gas data, determined using methods such as ICP-MS, XRF, and XRD. All records were harmonised using a unified metadata schema, standardised units, and consistent reporting formats. Quality control involved automated validation routines and manual expert review. Each record includes spatial coordinates, sampling context, analytical method, references, and a quality flag indicating data origin and traceability. The database is provided as a structured Excel file and contains interconnected datasets on geothermal wells, fluids, rocks, gases, and mineral precipitates. In total, the dataset comprises 9,773 records covering a wide range of geological settings, from volcanic and metamorphic systems to sedimentary basins. The CRM-geothermal database is FAIR-aligned, openly available, and intended for reuse in geothermal research, resource assessment, and studies on the sustainable co-production of geothermal energy and critical raw materials. Method: The CRM-geothermal database was compiled using a combined approach integrating literature-based data collection, database harmonisation, and new data generation through field sampling and laboratory analysis. Legacy data were collected from peer-reviewed scientific publications, national geological and geothermal databases, technical reports, and previous European research projects, with a particular emphasis on the REFLECT project. Relevant parameters were manually extracted, digitised where necessary, and cross-checked against original sources to ensure consistency and traceability. New data were generated within the CRM-geothermal project through targeted sampling campaigns at selected geothermal sites in Europe and Eastern Africa. Samples of geothermal fluids, rocks, gases, and mineral precipitates were collected from wells and surface manifestations following standard geochemical sampling protocols. Laboratory analyses were performed by project partner institutions using established analytical techniques, including inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for trace and critical elements, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for bulk chemical composition, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for mineralogical characterisation. Gas compositions were determined using gas chromatography and noble gas mass spectrometry where applicable. Detection limits and analytical uncertainties follow laboratory-specific standards and are documented where available. All data were harmonised using a unified metadata schema. Units, parameter names, and reporting formats were standardised, and spatial information was converted to WGS 84 decimal degrees. Quality control was applied through automated validation scripts checking metadata completeness, coordinate validity, and numerical plausibility, followed by manual expert review to ensure scientific coherence and correct sample attribution. The final dataset was organised into interconnected thematic tables (wells, fluids, rocks, gases, and scales) and exported as a structured Excel file for dissemination. Each record includes references, analytical method information, and a quality flag indicating data origin and traceability. Technical Info: The CRM-geothermal data publication is provided as a structured multi-sheet Excel (XLSX) file representing a curated snapshot of the CRM-geothermal database at the time of publication. The dataset was generated through controlled export workflows following data validation and harmonisation. The Excel file contains separate worksheets for thematic data tables (wells, fluids, rocks, gases, and mineral precipitates). Each worksheet preserves unique identifiers, standardised metadata fields, and cross-references between related records, allowing the dataset to be used independently of any external system or software platform.
