The Mediterranean Surface Exploration tool (MSET) tool allows exploring various ocean
variables providing information on the sea surface of the Western Mediterranean Sea.
These variables include five key Essential Ocean Variables ( EOVs , Tanhua et al., 2019):
temperature, salinity, sea level, chlorophyll-a and currents, and two additional variables,
temperature and salinity fronts, derived from the EOVs. The information is obtained from
the SOCIB Western Mediterranean Operational system ( WMOP , Juza et al., 2016;
Mourre et al., 2018) and from satellite data provided by Copernicus Marine Service
( CMEMS ). Oceanographic features can be explored as layers or time series at specific
points defined by the user when double-clicking the layer on display. This tool is aimed
for a wide range of end users in the field fisheries sustainability, conservation and
education. The implementation fully relies on Web Map Services (WMS). All data
handled by the tool is publically available .....
