2 Data information

Monthly mean sea surface temperature (in degree-C at 4km resolution) derived from the MODIS-TERRA sensor (Satellite remote sensing Ocean color data): Sea surface temperature is the temperature of the water close to the sea surface. SST is a standard product from satellite-based thermal infra-red sensors, and optical sensors complemented with infrared bands.

The parameters are monthly data.

var gives the short name of the parameter processed.

timerange is the time range of the parameter.

pixelnb gives the number of x by x km pixels covering the defined geographical extent.

fracnbna is the percentage of missing data in the defined area over the time range.

fractsna is the percentage of missing value for the time series of the parameters. This time serie is calculated using the monthly mean of the pixel values inside the defined area.

mean is the average value of the parameter inside the defined area over the time range.

sd is the standard deviation of the parameter values inside the defined area over the time range.

min is the minimum of the parameter values inside the defined area over the time range.

max is the maximum of the parameter values inside the defined area over the time range.

The monthly time series X(t) of the parameter is decomposed as X(t)=S(t)+T(t)+I(t) (see Vantrepotte and Melin, 2009), where S, T, and I represent, respectively, a seasonal signal, a trend, and an irregular (or residual) component (or remainder). These components are presented in the figure “seasonal composition”.

In this framework:
varseason is the percentage of variance associated with the seasonal component and “vartrend” the percentage of variance associated with the linear component (the trend).

A statistical test (Kendall rank correlation coefficient) is performed on the linear component in order to assess the significance of a monotic trend:
trendtest gives the p.value associated to this test.

senslope gives the value of the Sen slope (alternately, Theil slope). This value is the median slope joining all pairs of observations and is expressed by quantity per year.
