Environmental context of selected samples from the Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013)

The present data set provides contextual environmental data for samples from the Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013) that were selected for publication in a special issue of the SCIENCE journal (see related references below). The data set provides calculated averages of mesaurements made at the sampling location and depth, calculated averages from climatologies (AMODIS, VGPM) and satellite products.

(Table S1) Volcanic Synthesis EDML-EDC

This is a "synthesis table" of the volcanic synchronisations performed by several groups. It was necessary to perform this synthesis to avoid inconsistencies resulting from slightly different depth scales for the different parameters used and to eliminate the very few inconsistent matches.
