  • The table represents the global and regional distribution of DST measurements in marine animals, in Dinophysis cells from field sampling and in culture, as well as in the seawater (using solid phase adsorption toxin tracking, SPATT). The data encompass the locations, species and toxin profiles of Dinophysis spp. or taxa when marine animals were analyzed. Data were obtained and updated from Lee et al. (1989), Blanco et al. (2005), Reguera and Pizarro (2008), Reguera et al. (2012a) and Reguera et al. (2014). Scientific publications on Dinophysis occurrences but without associated toxin profiles or quantifications were not included. Toxin content of Dinophysis spp. were reported in a per cell basis (pg cell-1) or in few cases in per volume (ng mL-1), when the concentration in a per cell basis was not available in the publications, while in marine animals, presence or absence of the toxins were shown. Marine animals are grouped by taxa (e.g. C. gigas and C. virginica = oysters). This work represents 461 records (from 1978 to July 2020) from 163 scientific publications, conference papers, reports and conference abstracts.

  • A world deep displacement dataset comprising more than 1600 000 Argo floats deep displacements, has been produced from the global Argo float database (GDAC). ANDRO dataset was completed over the period 2000-2009, then was partially but yearly updated since 2010. ANDRO actual contents and format is described in the user guide, which must be carefully read before using ANDRO (ANDRO format is also described in Ollitrault M. et al (2013)). One important feature of ANDRO is that the pressures measured during float drifts at depth, and suitably averaged are preserved in ANDRO (see Figure 2). To reach this goal, it was necessary to reprocess most of the Argo raw data, because of the many different decoding versions (roughly 100) not always applied by the DACs to the displacement data because they were mainly interested in the p,t,S profiles. The result of our work was the production of comprehensive files, named DEP (for déplacements in French), containing all the possibly retrievable float data.
