Description

Water mass fractions and ages calculated from hydrographic and tracer data using a maximum-entropy inversion technique.

This dataset contains the fraction of water last ventilated in a given region regardless of the time elapsed since ventilation (in practice, younger than 4000 years) as well as the corresponding ensemble standard deviations.
