1985 - 2014 Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas) Seawater salinity trend analysis for the North East Atlantic (North West European Shelf)

This gridded data product provides a trend analysis to estimate the changes in Seawater Salinity at sea surface and near sea bed for the North West European Shelf from 1st January 1985 to 30th June 2014 at 7 Km spatial resolution. Monthly and seasonal trend values were generated by applying a Generalised Additive Model (GAM) on a time series of modelling output data for Salinity at 7 Km spatial resolution from the North West Shelf Reanalysis product (004_009) provided by Copernicus Marine Services (CMEMS).
