NorKyst-800 Average sea temperature WMS

The dataset originates from 10 years' average values of sea temperature in the surface, the water masses (intervals for 5m, 15m, 30m, 50m, 100m, 150m, 200m and 250m), as well as at the seabed. The distance from the seabed with the current model setup ranges from a few cm in shallow water and up to 1.5m when the total depth is 100m or more.

The temperatures are given in degrees Celsius.

Specific usage: The sea temperature is important for physical processes in the water masses, including agitation in the water column, which in turn has great importance for primary production in the sea. The sea temperature affects the growth rate of, among other things, zooplankton and larvae. It is also important for the distribution of many species and can affect the species' productivity.
