World Ocean Database Dataset Curated for Analyzing ENSO-Driven Tropical Pacific Oxygen Variability

<strong>Description of folders</strong> <em>- ENSO index time series</em> A file containing time series of the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) is located in the following folder: ENSOtimeseries. ONI time series data was downloaded from http://origin.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/ONI_v5.php on June 4, 2018. <em>- Exclusive economic zones (EEZs)</em> A shapefile of the world's EEZs, downloaded from http://marineregions.org/downloads.php, is located in the following folder: EEZs. <em>- World Ocean Database</em> <em>In situ</em> profiles of near-surface (0-700 m) temperature, salinity, and O₂ collected between January 1955 and May 2017 were downloaded from the World Ocean Database (WOD) at https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/SELECT/dbsearch/dbsearch.html on June 25th, 2017 and binned onto a monthly mean, 5-by-5 degree horizontal grid or grouped by EEZ. The binned monthly mean, 5-by-5 degree horizontal gridded data are in the following folders: WODglobalgridded, WODtropicalpacificonlygridded. The EEZ-grouped profiles are in the following folder: WODrawprofs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <strong>Associated publication</strong> This dataset was used to generate analyses and figures in the following publication: Leung, S., Thompson, L., McPhaden, M.
