The data cover the water pollution detected on German territory and in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The data include the position, type and sources of water pollution. The data are held for the legal prosecution and punishment of violations of the provisions of the MARPOL Convention 1973/78 in connection with the MARPOL-Owi-Vo, the Helsinki Convention in connection with the 1st and 2nd Baltic Sea Protection Amendment Ordinance and for the processing of individual technical and legal questions of principle regarding the above-mentioned legal provisions and administrative offence law (OWIG i. V. m. StPO and StGB), European law and international law. For more information, please visit: https://gdi.bsh.de/en/data/Water-Pollution_Information_Gewaesserverunreinigungen_DE.pdf

The annual survey plan specifies which areas are to be surveyed in the current year.

The data set contains the published status of the spatial designations of the infrastructure area plan as an additional source of information. The planning scale of the plan is 1:400,000. The announced documents are authoritative.

This metadata set describes the CSW interface of the metadata catalogue of the spatial data infrastructure of the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (GDI-BSH).

The map service "Magnetic Variation" offered for the information system "Geomagnetic Information" shows position-related magnetic variation data with the name of the nautical chart for which the respective magnetic variation value was calculated. The magnetic variation information is available for the current year and additionally for the following year and based on the World Magnetic Model (WMM) valid at the time of display. In addition, areas of uncertain declination mapped for the German coastal area, i.e. areas where the declination of the earth's magnetic field deviates significantly from its normal value.

The Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) on Board ESA’s ENVISAT provides spectral high resolution image data in the visible-near infrared spectral region (412-900 nm) at a spatial resolution of 300 m. For more details on ENVISAT and MERIS see http://envisat.esa.int/ Spectral high resolution measurements allow to assess different water constituents in optically complex case-2 waters (IOCCG, 2000). The main groups of constituents are Chlorophyll, corresponding to living phytoplankton, suspended minerals or sediments and dissolved organic matter. They are characterised by their specific inherent optical properties, in particular scattering and absorption spectra. The Baltic Sea Water Constituents product was developed in a co-operative effort of DLR (Remote Sensing Technology Institute IMF, German Remote Sensing Data Centre DFD), Brockmann Consult (BC) and Baltic Sea Research Institute (IOW) in the frame of the MAPP project (MERIS Application and Regional Products Projects). The data are processed on a regular (daily) basis using ESA standard Level-1 and -2 data as input and producing regional specific value added Level-3 products. The regular data reception is realised at DFD ground station in Neustrelitz. For more details the reader is referred to http://wdc.dlr.de/sensors/meris/ and http://wdc.dlr.de/sensors/meris/documents/Mapp_ATBD_final_i3r0dez2001.pdf This product provides 10-day maps.
