Our main aim is the time-lined correlation of marine species abundance data of the Dogger Bank (North Sea)with environmental variables like temperature, salinity, current strength/direction. The main dataset consists of species abundance data at 37 stations on the Dogger Bank from 1990 to 2010, except 1999 and 2007. Besides, there are supplementary datasets consisting of environmental data with reference to location (station coordinates) and time. These cover temperature, salinity, current direction/strength & depth. In addition, long term CTD data of ICES (www.ices.dk) are used to estimate variability and average values. beam trawl dogger bank epibenthos long term datanorth seaNorth Sea1.05.056.054.019902010MoritzSonnewaldBiodiversity and Climate Research Centre (BiK-F)
