ICES database of trawl surveys

ICES online database of trawl surveys, covering the Baltic Sea, Skagerrak, Kattegat, North Sea, English Channel, Celtic Sea, Irish Sea, Bay of Biscay and the eastern Atlantic from the Shetlands to Gibraltar.

The Inshore Beam Trawl Surveys include data collected by 4 countries (BE, DE, NL, UK) cover cover most of the coastal and estuarine waters along the continental coast, and are also known as the Youngfish Surveys. Although, the surveys target plaice and sole, composition of the whole catch is analyzed. Responsible survey group is WGBEAM

Input data files for the BONUS BaltHealth project.- The dataset contains mercury data from the ICES DOME ‘Contaminants and biological effects of contaminants in biota’ dataset.

A systematic literature review was carried out using two bibliographic databases the Web of Science (WoS; www.webofknowledge.com; Clarivate) and Scopus (www.scopus.com; Elsevier). In the former searches were completed by searching the “core collection” using the “topic” field (which searches the paper titles, abstracts, author keywords and keywords plus; the latter determined by a Clarivate algorithm using synonymy), and in Scopus the abstract, title and keyword fields were searched. Searches were completed between July and November 2023.

Cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) data to understand their abundance and distribution ​​​​This portal assembles at-sea effort-related data collected via ship-based or aerial methods, collated under the Joint Cetacean Database Programme (JCDP).

The JCDP aims to streamline the process of accessing and utilising these data by collating the existing and forthcoming cetacean evidence base into a single resource. These data have a wide range of applications and have the potential to support analyses at a range of spatial and temporal scales.

The Advice and Scenarios database compiles ICES fisheries advice and scenarios data by stock and per year.

The ICES EcoSystemData system joins several databases on physical, biological and chemical information into one system. The data available in EurOBIS is an extract from the EcoSystemData System of ICES

We report a large-scale density-functional-theory study of the configuration space of water ice. We geometry optimise 74,963 ice structures, which are selected and constructed from over five million tetrahedral networks listed in the databases of Treacy and Deem, and the International Zeolite Association database. All prior knowledge of ice is set aside and we introduce generalised convex hulls to identify configurations stabilised by appropriate thermodynamic constraints. We thereby rediscover all known phases (I to XVII, i, 0 and the quartz phase) except the metastable ice IV. Crucially, we also find promising candidates for ices XVIII through LI. Using the sketch-map dimensionality-reduction algorithm we construct an a priori, navigable map of configuration space, which reproduces similarity relations between structures and highlights the novel candidates. By relating the known phases to the tractably small, yet structurally diverse set of synthesisable candidate structures, we provide an excellent starting point for identifying formation pathways.

The Global Lake and River Ice Phenology Database contains freeze and thaw/breakup dates as well as other descriptive ice cover data for 865 lakes and rivers in the Northern Hemisphere. Of the 542 water bodies that have records longer than 19 years, 370 of them are in North America and 172 are in Eurasia. 249 lakes and rivers have records longer than 50 years, and 66 have records longer than 100 years. A few water bodies have data available prior to 1845. This database, with water bodies distributed around the Northern Hemisphere, allows for the analysis of broad spatial patterns as well as long-term temporal patterns.

The Harmful Algal Event Database (HAEDAT) is a component of the Harmful Algal Information system (HAIS) within the International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO, and in cooperation with ICES, and PICES. The HAEDAT is a meta database containing records of harmful algal events. HAEDAT contains records from the ICES area (North Atlantic) since 1985, and from the PICES area (North Pacific) since 2000. IOC Regional networks in South America, South Pacific and Asia, and North Africa have recently started contributing. This instantiation of the HAEDAT database contains all species occurrences associated with harmful algal events, including abundance and toxicity ranges.

The Global Lake and River Ice Phenology Database contains freeze and breakup dates and other ice cover descriptive data for 748 lakes and rivers. Of the 429 water bodies that have records longer than 19 years, 287 are in North America and 141 are in Eurasia; 170 have records longer than 50 years; and 28 longer than 100 years. A few have data prior to 1845. These data, from water bodies distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, allow analysis of broad spatial patterns as well as long-term temporal patterns. The data set was prepared by the North Temperate Lakes Long-Term Ecological Research program at the Center for Limnology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from data submitted by participants in the Lake Ice Analysis Group (LIAG). LIAG is an international ad hoc group of scientists who participated in a 1996 workshop sponsored by the Center of Limnology, University of Wisconsin-Madison and the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology (Long-Term Studies Program). The group would be happy to receive additional data on these lakes or rivers or others around the world for inclusion in the database. NSIDC has developed a Web-based user interface to the database that allows users to search the database and retrieve data by the available parameters. The interface also includes a link to more general information about the lakes and rivers in the database. The output can be directed to a Web browser, a gzipped file, or a tab-separated ASCII text file. Note: The term 'phenology' in the data set title refers to the seasonal phenomenon of the freezing and thawing of lake and river ice.

ICES oceanographic database: total numbers of observations in the North Sea 1958–2010.

DATRAS Web Services offer a possibility to search and retrieve data from DATRAS database by granting direct access to the data. DATRAS (getSurveyYearQuarterList) service returns the quarter-based list of the survey years with data.

A database containing polarimetric single-scattering properties of various types of ice particles at millimeter to centimeter wavelengths is presented. This database is complementary to earlier ones in that it contains complete (polarimetric) scattering property information for each ice particle - 44 plates, 30 columns, 405 branched planar crystals, 660 aggregates, and 640 conical graupel - and direction of incident radiation but is limited to four frequencies (W-, Ka-, Ku- and X-bands), does not include temperature dependencies of the single-scattering properties and does not include scattering properties averaged over randomly oriented ice particles. Rules for constructing the morphologies of ice particles from one database to the next often differ; consequently, analyses that incorporate all of the different databases will contain the most variability, while illuminating important differences between them.

From mid-January to mid-February, several fisheries research ships conduct fisheries biological observations in support of increasing knowledge of the factors that influence the biological/fisheries characteristics of the commercial fish stocks of the North Sea. In addition to these observations, temperature and salinity observations are taken at each of the 500 or so stations worked, and these observations are maintained in a separate data set for merging with the ICES IBTS database, and for use by researchers concerned with the interpretation of the IBTS observations. The dataset currently extends to 12,000 profiles of temperature, salinity and nutrients. ICES produces an annual summary of these observations, and an atlas describing them is available. Prior to 1990 the February IBTS was known as the International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS). From 1999 the IBTS was made a component of the GOOS Initial Observing System.

River ice is a known occurrence in cold climate hydrological systems. The annual cycle of formation, growth, decay and clearance of river ice can include low flows and ice jams, as well as mid-winter and spring break-up events. Reports and associated data on river ice occurrence are often limited to site and season specific studies. Within Canada, the National Hydrometric Program (NHP) operates a network of gauging stations with water level as the primary measured variable. It is well known by the hydrologic community that river ice related information can be extracted from water level records. Near two decades ago, the Water Science and Technology Directorate of Environment and Climate Change Canada initiated a long-term effort to compile, archive and extract river ice related information from hydrometric records. As a result, this work has delivered an original research data set: the Canadian River Ice Database (CRID). The CRID includes near 71,000 river ice variables from a network of 196 NHP sites throughout Canada in operation within the period 1894 to 2015. The task of compiling this database involved manual extraction, data entry and input of more than 460,000 information fields on water level, discharge, date, time and data quality rating. In excess of 100,000 paper and digital files were reviewed with the network representing over 10,000 station years of active operation. This database follows up on several earlier efforts to compile information on river ice and expands the scope and detail for use in Canadian river ice research and applications. At each location, time series of up to 15 river ice variables specific to occurrence of freeze-up and winter-low events, occurrence of mid-winter break-up, ice thickness, spring break-up and maximum open-water level is compiled. Following the Government of Canada Open Data initiative, this original river ice data set is available to the public.
