Within the Marine Mammals Exploring the Oceans Pole to Pole (MEOP) program, several international teams agreed to share their CTD-SRDL data sets to produce a single, uniformly calibrated, homogeneous database of hydrographic profiles. Here we present the MEOP-CTD database, a quality-controlled colle...
