A. Climate data sets

• Unified high quality initial, forcing and validation data sets, model data sets 1961-2004, Delivery 2.1 (ZIP file, ca. 10MB): A data set of hydrographic and hydrochemical observations from a selection of stations around the Baltic Sea prepared from the Baltic Environmental Database by Bo Gustafsson and Miguel Rodriguez-Medina at Baltic Nest Institute. The data set contains monthly averaged time- series from 1970-2008, seasonal cycles (with monthly resolution) and overall mean profiles. Included is a brief documentation of the data set and methods used for averaging. Data description file here (pdf)
• Summary of historical data by Tuija Ruoho-Airola and Maija Parviainen

B. Input data to food web modelling

• Data request table for hindcasted and projected modelled variables used in fish and foodweb modelling in Ecosupport
