Mean Silicate Concentration for Surface Water (Years 2000-2014) - Bio-Oracle 2.1

Raster data representing the mean levels of silicate in µmol/m3 for the surface water layer. The data are available for global-scale applications at a spatial resolution of 5 arcmin (approximately 9.2 km at the equator).

Marine data layers for present conditions were produced with climate data describing monthly averages for the period 2000–2014, obtained from pre-processed global ocean re-analyses combining satellite and in situ observations at regular two- and three-dimensional spatial grids.

The data available in Bio-ORACLE are documented in two peer reviewed articles that you should cite:
