Historical TEI Data

A link to relevant historical data sets

Iron synthesis programme involves a data recovery effort aimed at assembling a common, open-access database of data and metadata from a series of in-situ ocean iron fertilisation experiments conducted between 1993 and 2005. This database is maintained and run by the staff of Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO)

The World Ocean Circulation Experiment, WOCE was the largest internationally coordinated oceanographic programme ever conducted. This link provides acesss to a basin-wide global dataset with observations from the decade from 1988 until 1998.

A fresh look at Element Distribution in the North Pacific provides vertical profiles of elements in the North Pacific Ocean

The MBARI Periodic Table of Elements in the Ocean provides horizontal and vertical distribution of elements in the ocean.

Keith Moore observational dissolved Iron database.  Moore expanded the original iron database complied by Parekh et al. (2005) by 30 % to 6540 data points.  The complete dataset with references to the original source articles is available as supplementary material to Moore and Braucher (2008)  (http://www.biogeosciences.net/5/631/2008/bg-5-631-2008-supplement.zip).
