Methodology
The map is based on a .dbf file named after its season-location (e.g. summermeans_baltic.dbf containing Chlorophyll A values from the Baltic Sea, incl. longitude/latitude by station). The name location part of the name has an "OW" postfix if it contains Open Water data, otherwise data are form coastal stations. The colours of the legend are based on the 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% percentiles of the indicator presented.
