The paper provides a comprehensive synthesis of 68 existing ocean carbonate chemistry data products and data product sets, including cruise-based compilations, time-series datasets, gap-filled observational products, and model-based reconstructions. The authors highlight the diversity of available products, noting differences in spatial coverage, temporal resolution, methodologies, and intended scientific applications. By systematically cataloguing and comparing these datasets, the study helps researchers identify which products are most suitable for specific scientific questions related to ocean carbon cycling and ocean acidification.
