Global Porosity [%] distribution

To get an overview about the data available in the following section, please have a look at the map and the variable/parameter profiles (.pdf document). In order to present properly the results Ocean Data View (Reiner Schlitzer, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research) has been applied.

Data are available as ODV collection and are delivered as .zip files. If you have comments on that, please let me know (Nicolas Dittert, WDC-MARE).

All ORFOIS related data with respect to global solid surface sediment porosity data are continuously updated.
Whenever you use data of the ORFOIS data compilation that refer to the global solid surface sediment porosity data collection, please quote the citations of the following publications:
