NAMBLEX Data - Species, Datasets and Locations

Below is a table showing where to find measurements of each species measured during NAMBLEX on the BADC. We are recommending that the datasets detailed in the table are used for all data analysis and modelling. This does not mean that any other measurements are not valid but there has to be consistency, particularly when it comes to writing papers for a special issue. All data is in NASA AMES format and contact details for the person responsible for the measurement are in the files.
