The dataset includes ocean eutrophication indicators derived from climate projections and ocean colour remote-sensing satellite products. The indicators are based on comparisons between daily chlorophyll-a concentration values and the daily 90th percentile (P90) chlorophyll-a concentration from climatology.&nbsp;In order to assess the impact of climate change, simulations under two future climate scenarios based on different Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) for future greenhouse gas concentration are conducted: the intermediate scenario, RCP4.5, in which greenhouse gas concentration peak around 2040 before declining mainly due to successful mitigation measures in place; and the more pessimistic scenario, RCP8.5, where greenhouse gas concentration continue to rise throughout the century. The hydrodynamic-biogeochemical models were driven by one Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) global climate model (GCM) projection downscaled to a regional climate model (RCM).

The dataset is now available to be downloaded from [https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/sis-fisheries-eutrophication?tab=overview](https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/sis-fisheries-eutrophication?tab=overview)

This dataset was produced on behalf of Copernicus Climate Change Service for the SIS European Fisheries contract.
