Achievement at a glance
The SCOR GEOTRACES project completed and made available its 2017 Intermediate Data Product, which contains data from the first 6 years of GEOTRACES cruises. The new data product expands on the collection of results from the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, released in 2014, and adds newer data from the Pacific and Southern Oceans. It contains trace elements that serve as micronutrients, tracers of continental sources to the ocean (e.g., aerosols and boundary exchange), contaminants (e.g., Pb and Hg), radioactive and stable isotopes used in paleoceanography and a broad suite of hydrographic parameters used to trace water masses. In addition, it provides biological data, for the first time. The data are available at https://www.bodc.ac.uk/geotraces/data/idp2017/. Images from the dataset are available at http://www.egeotraces.org/.
