Estimating long-term modifications of the sea surface temperature (SST) is crucial for evaluating current state oceans and to correctly assess impact climate change at regional scales. In this work, we analyze SST variations within Mediterranean Sea adjacent Northeastern Atlantic box (west Strait Gibraltar) over last 37 years, by using a satellite-based dataset from Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS). We found mean warming trend 0.041 ± 0.006 ∘ C/year whole 1982 2018....

Abstract A joint effort between the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) and Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) has been dedicated to an intercomparison study of eight global gap-free sea surface temperature (SST) products assess their accurate representation SST relevant climate analysis. In general, all show consistent spatial patterns temporal variability during overlapping time period (2003–18). The main differences each product are located in western boundary...

Anomalous warming of the upper ocean is increasingly being observed in Mediterranean Sea. Extreme events, known as marine heatwaves (MHWs), can have a profound impact on ecosystems, and their correct detection characterization are crucial to define future scenarios. Here, we analyze MHWs over last 41 years (1982–2022) sea surface temperatures (SSTs). We show that intensification frequency, intensity, duration recent mainly due shift SST mean occurred two decades largely reduced when...

Abstract The North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre (NASTG) has experienced the fastest expansion of oligotrophic waters worldwide in response to ocean warming. We study trophic regime changes NASTG by using 21 years (1998–2018) satellite chlorophyll‐ a (CHL) data, complemented with other variables such as Sea Surface Temperature, optical backscatter coefficients ( b bp ), Secchi disk (z SD and Mixed Layer Depth. To this aim, we describe spatial/temporal variability lowest CHL concentrations (CHL ≤...

Abstract If climate services are to lead effective use of information in decision-making enable the transition a climate-smart, climate-ready world, then question trust products and is paramount importance. The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has been actively grappling with how build such trust: provision demonstrably independent assessments quality products, which was deemed an important element trust-building processes. C3S provides access essential variables (ECVs) from multiple...

The need of taking concrete actions for a Europe's Green Transition is evident, and in this direction clear objectives have been set through the European Deal. In context, quantifiable tailored information needed to allow conscious decisions support advocacy. Space datasets tools enabling their processing represent empowering solutions delivering suitable actionable information; however, several cases potential has not fully exploited yet, or completely understood even known. Future (S4GF)...
