Data Name (This will be the displayed title in Catalog)
Bottom temperature - Seasonal Gridded
Indicator Name (as exists in ecodata)
bottom_temp_seasonal_gridded
Family (Which group is this indicator associated with?)
Data Description
Seasonal mean bottom temperatures on the Northeast Continental Shelf between 1959 and 2023 in a 1/12° grid.
Introduction to Indicator (Please explain your indicator)
The bottom temperature product is in a horizontal 1/12 degree grid between 1959 and 2022 and is made of daily bottom temperature estimates from:
Bias-corrected ROMS-NWA between 1959 and 1992 which was regridded in the same 1/12degree grid as GLORYS using bilinear interpolation; Years 1993 through summer 2023 are from CMEMS GLORYS12V1 global reanalysis bottom temperature, and fall 2023 is from CMEMS PSY forecasting product.
Key Results and Visualization
Maps of seasonal mean bottom temperature across NE shelf.
Implications
Bottom temperature is a key environmental parameter in defining the habitat and metabolic conditions of demersal and benthic species. Interannual and seasonal changes in bottom temperature can provide significant indicators of species productivity, spatial distributions, or mortality. Long-term trends in bottom temperature are indicators of regional implications of global climate change and may be used in evaluating climate risk for fisheries management.
