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 in a time less than or equal to 39 years ago as well as the corresponding ensemble standard deviations.
