| Summary: | Virioplankton are a key component of the marine biosphere in maintaining diversity of microorganisms and stabilizing ecosystems. They also contribute greatly to nutrient cycles/cycling by releasing organic matter after lysis of hosts. In this study, we constructed the first global viral oceanography database (gVOD) by collecting 10 931 viral abundance (VA) data and 727 viral production (VP) data, along with host and relevant oceanographic parameters when available. Most VA data were obtained in the North Atlantic (32 %) and North Pacific (29 %) oceans, while the southeast Pacific and Indian oceans were quite undersampled. The VA in the global ocean was <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1" display="inline" overflow="scroll" dspmath="mathml"><mrow><mn mathvariant="normal">1.17</mn><mo>(</mo><mo>±</mo><mn mathvariant="normal">3.31</mn><mo>)</mo><mo>×</mo><msup><mn mathvariant="normal">10</mn><mn mathvariant="normal">7</mn></msup></mrow></math> <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="88pt" height="15pt" class="svg-formula" dspmath="mathimg" md5hash="e534f94ec0e2000fbfe6b4f9e6ccaec6"><svg:image xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="essd-13-1251-2021-ie00001.svg" width="88pt" height="15pt" src="essd-13-1251-2021-ie00001.png"/></svg:svg> particles mL −1 .
