Abstract
Water mass fractions and ages calculated from hydrographic and tracer data using a maximum-entropy inversion technique. This dataset contains the fraction of water last ventilated in a given region regardless of the time elapsed since ventilation (in practice, younger than 4000 years) as well as the corresponding ensemble standard deviations. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/810696
