Search by Matrix of Chemicals vs Regions
The EMODNET Chemistry portal deals with measurements concerning a list of chemical variables. The Matrix below gives an overview of variables and whether there are measurement data available for specific marine regions. The colour indicates the number of measurement data sets. Clicking on a coloured square activates a query for that specific combination of variable and marine region, whereby the results are presented in the Extended Search interface of the Common Data Index (CDI) data discovery and access service. Only pointing the mouse on a coloured square shows the actual number of data sets for that combination.
Legend - number of measurement data sets for each variable per marine region.
