This technical report provides summary data for nine distinct US JGOFS and international JGOFS sites. Four of these are point-locations where long-term time-series data have been collected: the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS); the Hawaiian Ocean Timeseries (HOT); KERFIX, the French JGOFS site; and Station P, the Canadian JGOFS time-series station. The remaining sites are U.S. JGOFS Process Study sites: Arabian Sea; Equatorial Pacific (EqPac); North Atlantic Bloom Experiment (NABE); and the Antarctic Environment and Southern Ocean Survey (AESOPS) (which includes two distinct regions: the Ross Set and Antarctic Polar Front Zone). To provide an easy to use, practical presentation of data from each of these sites, both depth-profile data and the mixed layer average for each variable are determined on a cast-by-cast basis. Where possible, data are also standardized to common units. These data are available through the Data Support Section of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (http://dss.ucar.edu/datasets/) as dataset 259.0.
