These data sets spans multiple oceanographic, chemical, physical, and geomorphological layers. Bathymetric complexity was captured through broad- and fine-scale Bathymetric Position Indices, along with seafloor depth, slope, and ruggedness. Seafloor characteristics included sediment type* and wave exposure estimates. Water column properties were described using measurements of oxygen, salinity, temperature, pH, and nutrient concentrations (nitrate and phosphate) at both bottom and surface layers, each described by mean values and standard deviations. Stratification were characterized by Secchi depth, mixed layer depth, and sea ice concentration. Productivity was approximated by chlorophyll-a concentration. Surface and subsurface variability in wave conditions and satellite-derived sea surface temperature were also collected. Swedish sediment information published with permission from the Swedish Maritime Authority: Decision 23-06009 (12 Sep 2024). To prepare the layers, we applied a procedure designed to iteratively extrapolate missing values in a raster layer by applying a moving window mean filter. It first aligns the input raster to the target grid (Baltic Sea grid at 250 m resolution) using a specified projection method, then repeatedly fills in missing data based on the mean of neighboring cells within a circular window of user-defined size (2 in this case). This iterative process continues until either all missing values are filled or a predefined number of iterations is reached, with early termination if convergence occurs. This procedure ensures that extrapolation respects the spatial extent of the reference grid and provides progress updates during processing.

Dataset description: This spatial dataset displays catchment areas of the Baltic Sea sub-basins for which the nutrient input to the marine environment and the fulfilment of the maximum allowable inputs of nutrients (MAI) are assessed. Attributes to the polygonal features reflect results of the latest assessment of total normalized input of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) to the sub-basin from all pathways (riverine, direct, airborne), which are used as HELCOM Core indicator to assess progress towards maximum allowable input (MAI) of nutrients to the Baltic Sea Inputs of nutrients - HELCOM indicators. The assessment takes into account statistical uncertainty which is added to the computed input value. Thus, the fulfilment of MAI means that the nutrient input after adding the statistical uncertainty is below the agreed maximum allowable input value. Attributes TN status and TP status indicate whether MAI is fulfilled or not which is visualized in a simple traffic light colour scheme. The green colour of a catchment indicates that input plus statistical uncertainty was lower than MAI, red colour - input (without statistical uncertainty) was higher, and yellow indicates that input value was lower than MAI but statistical uncertainty does not allow to determine whether MAI was fulfilled. The assessment is performed in accordance with the HELCOM Guidelines for the annual and periodical compilation and reporting of waterborne pollution inputs to the Baltic Sea (HELCOM PLC-Water Guideline).
