An oxygen isotope data set for marine waters

Open access
Bigg, Grant R., Rohling, Eelco J.·2000·Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans

Abstract

The proportion of 18 O in a sample of seawater is an excellent tracer of its past history as, away from the surface, it is conservative and also nondynamical. The range of values in source waters is also large, and the accuracy achievable in modern measurement high. Here we bring together for the first time a global data set of over 6000 individual measurements from the past 40 years. The properties of this data set are described. Noteworthy features include the hitherto unnoticed, but distinctive, contribution of North Pacific Upper Water to the δ 18 O:salinity relationship, and different origins of the deeper waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. We also make a plea here to the international community to contribute unpublished data to the archive for the use of all.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
