Knowledge of the taxonomic and functional biodiversity of both endemic and invading vector mosquito species as well as the factors driving change, is missing in Belgium. Acquiring this knowledge is an essential step towards understanding current risk and preparing for future treads. Therefore the objectives of the project MODIRISK (Mosquito vectors of disease: spatial biodiversity, drivers of change, and risk) were (1) to inventory endemic and invading mosquito species in Belgium considering environmental and taxonomic elements of biodiversity (http://www.gbif.org/dataset/6679952f-649b-4888-bd97-00daca4b8cc1) + (Collection), (2) to assess the population dynamics of endemic and invasive mosquito species and their interrelationship (This dataset) (3) to model mosquito biodiversity distribution at a one km resolution in the Benelux, and (4) to disseminate project outputs to the scientific community, end users and the general public. During the first phase (years 2007-2008), the project focused on the inventory activities; setting–up laboratory experiments for studying life history traits of Culex pipiens in relation to temperature and the first selection of models based on the field results. Whilst during the second phase of the project (years 2009-2010) the focus was on the spatial model building and validation, on the longitudinal study (this dataset) and dynamics of selected indigenous and exotic species that were found during the inventory of the first phase and on more population genetic driven research The longitudinal studies (2nd phase of the project) were conducted on selected indigenous and exotic species found during the first phase of the project. In total 33682 adult mosquitoes were collected at the four sites with the twelve traps. The project was coordinated by the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp.

This dataset contains the operational 2D barotropic hydrodynamical COHERENS tide forecasts for the Belgian part of the North Sea. The domain covers the European North West Continental Shelf, with latitudes from 48 to 62 and longitudes from -12 to 13. The grid has a resolution of 0.08333 in longitude and 0.041666 in latitude. The data is provided every hour. The sea surface is forced by the 6-hourly meteo forecasts provided by the UKMO

This dataset is part of the MSFD D7 2017 cycle. It aims at assessing the impact of the windmills on the hydrodynamical conditions and hydrodynamical climate in their neighbourhood. The impcat is measured by comparing a domain with and without the presence of windmills. This particular dataset gathers the 3D fields of the windmills simulation.

This dataset contains the operational WAM wave forecasts for the sea state of the North Sea. The domain covers latitudes from 48.5 to 57 and longitudes from -4 to 9. The grid has a resolution of 0.1 in longitude and 0.0666 in latitude. The spectral analysis is provided every hour. The sea surface is forced by the 6-hourly meteo forecasts provided by the UKMO
