The GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2017 (IDP2017) is the second publicly available data product of theinternational GEOTRACES programme, and contains data measured and quality controlled before the end of2016. The IDP2017 includes data from the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, Southern and Indian oceans, with abouttwice the data volume of the previous IDP2014. For the first time, the IDP2017 contains data for a large suite ofbiogeochemical parameters as well as aerosol and rain data characterising atmospheric trace element and isotope(TEI) sources. The TEI data in the IDP2017 are quality controlled by careful assessment of intercalibrationresults and multi-laboratory data comparisons at crossover stations. The IDP2017 consists of two parts: (1) acompilation of digital data for more than 450 TEIs as well as standard hydrographic parameters, and (2) theeGEOTRACES Electronic Atlas providing an on-line atlas that includes more than 590 section plots and 130animated 3D scenes. The digital data are provided in several formats, including ASCII, Excel spreadsheet,netCDF, and Ocean Data View collection. Users can download the full data packages or make their own customselections with a new on-line data extraction service. In addition to the actual data values, the IDP2017 alsocontains data quality flags and 1-σ data error values where available. Quality flags and error values are useful fordata filtering and for statistical analysis. Metadata about data originators, analytical methods and originalpublications related to the data are linked in an easily accessible way. The eGEOTRACES Electronic Atlas is thevisual representation of the IDP2017 as section plots and rotating 3D scenes. The basin-wide 3D scenes combinedata from many cruises and provide quick overviews of large-scale tracer distributions. These 3D scenes providegeographical and bathymetric context that is crucial for the interpretation and assessment of tracer plumes nearocean margins or along ridges. The IDP2017 is the result of a truly international effort involving 326 researchersfrom 25 countries. This publication provides the critical reference for unpublished data, as well as for studiesthat make use of a large cross-section of data from the IDP2017. This article is part of a special issue entitled: "Cycles of trace elements and isotopes in the ocean – GEOTRACESand beyond" - edited by Tim M. Conway, Tristan Horner, Yves Plancherel, and Aridane G.
