EurOBIS MeasurementOrFact Open in mapper Explore occurrences

The two SOMLIT-Wimereux time-series data characterize hydrology and plankton biomass and diversity of the eastern English Channel near Boulogne sur mer, located at 50°40,75'N and 1°31,17'E and 1° 24,64'E . Fortnightly measurements have been undertaken since 1998 by a laboratory involving the CNRS, University of Lille and ULCO, named the Laboratory of Oceanology and Geoscience (UMR 8187 LOG) since 2008 (https://log.cnrs.fr). The SOMLIT-Wimereux observation station is a part of the French monitoring network SOMLIT (https://www.somlit.fr/), accredited by the CNRS as a national Earth Science Observatory (Service National d’Observation : SNO).
