A global database of dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentration measurements in coastal waters (CoastDOM v.1)

This global database (CoastDOM v.1) contains both previously published and unpublished measurements of Dissolved organic carbon (DOC), nitrogen (DON) and phosphorus (DOP) in coastal waters. The dataset also contains hydrographic data such as temperature and salinity and, to the extent possible, other biogeochemical variables (e.g., Chlorophyll-a, inorganic nutrients) and the inorganic carbon system (e.g., dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity). The data included were collected from 1978 to 2022 and consist of 62339 data points for DOC, 20360 for DON and 13440 for DOP.
