TL;DR: The GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2017 (IDP2017) as discussed by the authors is the second publicly available data product of the international GEOTrACES programme, and contains data measured and quality controlled before the end of 2016.
TL;DR: Although originally developed for oceanographic observations only, the underlying concept is more general, and data or model output from other areas of geosciences, like for instance geology, geophysics, geography and atmospheric research can be maintained and explored with ODV.
TL;DR: This Article failed to fully credit the use of the Ocean Data View software in figure 1 and supplementary figures 6 and 7, which appears below.
Abstract: Nature Communications 5:4102 doi: (2014); Published 17 June 2014; Updated 15 June 2016 The original version of this Article failed to fully credit the use of the Ocean Data View software in figure 1 and supplementary figures 6 and 7, which appears below: Schlitzer, R., Ocean Data View, http://odv.awi.
TL;DR: PANGAEA is an information system for processing, long-term storage, and publication of georeferenced data related to earth science fields and established and well-documented software tools are the mini-GIS PanMap, the plotting tool PanPlot, and Ocean Data View for the exploration of oceanographic data.
