Physical loss of the seabed dataset in support of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Descriptor 6 (D06C01, 2018 Reporting)
type: Dataset
abstract: This dataset is part of the 2018 Belgian submission for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) linked to descriptor 6, criterion 1. This dataset describes and maps the the physical loss of the seabed in the Belgian part of the North Sea (BPNS) in the period 2011-2016. The dataset combines the different human activities responsible for a loss of seabed, including wrecks, measuring piles and radar stations, pipelines, power and telecommunication cables with their rock dump, and wind farms. The area lost is mapped and quantified per year, per activity and per benthic broad habitat.

data quality: This dataset is the result of a combination of seven smaller shapefiles representing wrecks, measuring piles and radar stations, pipelines, power and telecommunication cables with their rock dump, and wind farms. Original data were described in different coordinates system such as WGS84, ED50 and ETRS89. A buffer is applied around point geometry (wrecks, measuring piles, radar masts) to create a serie of polygon that are reprojected in WGS84. Finally all shapefiles are dissolved and published in INSPIRE compliant ETRS89-LAEA projection. The data is then dynamically made available through WFS and statically converted to an INSPIRE-compliant GML file.

Pelagic community cell abundances and carbon biomass
type: Dataset
abstract: UNDER EMBARGO - This dataset is part of BE/2023 sampling campagn in SW Greenland fjords (Igaliku and Tunulliarfik). Pelagic community was analysed using Imaging Flow Cytometry (iFCM) with an ImageStream®X Mk II. Cells were grouped into functional size classes—pico-, nano- and microplankton—according to measured cell length. Cells lacking chlorophyll autofluorescence were classified as heterotrophic or chemotrophic organisms, including heterotrophic picoplankton/bacteria (HP; ≤2 µm) and heterotrophic nanoplankton (HN; 2–20 µm). No larger heterotrophs (>20 µm) were visually detected. Autofluorescent cells were considered phototrophic, although this fraction may also include mixotrophic taxa, and comprised picophytoplankton (AP; ≤2 µm), nanophytoplankton (AN; 2–20 µm), and microphytoplankton (AMicro; 20–100 µm). To estimate the biovolume of each plankton class, the two-dimensional cell surface area measured by the IDEAS® imaging software was multiplied by the mean cell width, assuming that cell width approximates the third spatial dimension. Carbon biomass was subsequently derived from biovolume using established carbon–volume relationships. For the HP fraction, carbon content was estimated using the bacterial conversion proposed by Romanova and Sazhin (2010), where volume is expressed in µm³. Although the HP fraction may also include heterotrophic picoeukaryotes, and its biomass may therefore be partly underestimated, this conversion was applied because the fraction was assumed to be numerically dominated by bacteria. For the other protist groups, carbon biomass was derived following Menden-Deuer and Lessard (2000). Carbon values were converted from pg C cell⁻¹ to carbon biomass (µg C L⁻¹) based on cell abundance.

data quality: Because the upper size detection limit of this instrument (iFCM) is 100 µm, 14 mL of each seawater sample was pre-filtered through a 100 µm mesh to remove larger particles. The filtrate was subsequently fixed with glutaraldehyde (final concentration 1.0%) and stored at 4 °C. Samples were allowed to sediment for at least 48 h, after which the supernatant was carefully removed to obtain a final 7× concentration. This concentration step was necessary to compensate for the relatively low abundance of larger cells within the small analytical volume processed by the instrument.Prior to acquisition, 0.5 mL of each sample was stained with 1% (v/v) SYBR Green I (100× working solution in DMSO) and incubated in the dark at 37 °C for 20 min. Microscopic images (40× magnification; pixel size 0.5 × 0.5 µm) and flow cytometry signals, including brightfield images, fluorescence at 488 nm (SYBR Green–stained nucleic acids), and fluorescence at 642 nm (chlorophyll autofluorescence), were recorded for further analysis.Using IDEAS® software (v. 6.2), plankton populations were identified and quantified based on their optical and fluorescence characteristics.

Historical orthophotos 2000s (WMS)
abstract: This service allows the visualization of historical orthophoto mosaics based on available aerial photographs covering parts of the Belgian territory. The data is accessible via a Web Map Service (WMS). Orthophotos are aerial photographs that have been geometrically corrected (orthorectified) to eliminate distortions caused by terrain relief, lens distortion, and camera tilt. Unlike raw aerial imagery, orthophotos have a uniform scale and accurate geometry, making them suitable for cartography, measurements, and visual analysis. This specific service includes historical orthophotos from 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009, derived from aerial surveys carried out by the National Geographic Institute (NGI) and the Regions. From this period onward, both analogue and digital aerial photographs are available. The analogue images were scanned at high resolution and, like the digital ones, orthorectified. The resulting orthophotos were assembled into mosaics and georeferenced in the Lambert 2008 coordinate system. The orthophotos are either panchromatic (black and white) or in colour (RGB), depending on the year and location. The ground resolution (GSD) varies between 10 cm and 100 cm, depending on the sensor used and the surveyed area. The spatial coverage of this service is limited to the areas for which aerial photographs were available during the mentioned period. The service has been cached using the WebMercator TileMatrixSet, with a maximum scale denominator of 4,265.459167699568 metres (scale level 17).

data quality: Hail detection module is an implementation of two hail detection algorithms: of Witt and of Waldvogel (Waldvogelet al., 1979). The module takes radar observations and temperature information and estimates probability of hail (POH, %), probability of severe hail (POSH, %) and maximum expected size of hail (MESH, mm). The implementation of the Waldvogel algorithm is based on the Holleman's equation (I. Holleman, 2001), which was verified for Belgium by Delobbe et al. (2003). The POH is derived in the algorithm from the presence of a substantial updraft detected above the freezing level (0º-isoterm). The implementation of the Witt algorithm is based on the weighted integration of the reflectivity values between the heights of 0º-isoterm and -20º-isotherm (Witt et al., 1998). This algorithm provides POSH and MESH estimates.
