One row per series, one cell per year, darker with more values — the same strip the front door draws per dataset and a species page draws per taxon. Each row is one dataset's own measurement_type; the label is written once, in the title above.

How it is measured no method registered yet

No method row is registered for this measurement yet (metadata/measurement_method.csv).

Why it matters no reason registered yet
The record’s own history no climatology to depart from

Each year against the normal
i

The release builds no climatology for this measurement, so there is no normal to draw a departure from.

details
bounds
The registry declares at least 0 nmol/L for dissolved_iron; a value outside it is dropped at the ingest (drop_out_of_bounds()).
observed
Dissolved iron dissolved_iron 0.05 · median 0.39 · 8.2 nmol/L (5th–95th percentile 0.0945–3.438)
flags
Dissolved iron dissolved_iron carries no quality code at the release grain; qual_ok keeps all 170.
baseline
No climatology row is built for this measurement, so the Explorer draws values, not anomalies.

The familiar scale
i

Bars are each series' 5th–95th percentile, the line its minimum to maximum, the ring its median; the marks are metadata/measurement_scale.csv's, each hovering to its own source.

By depth · by month surface · 6 of 12 months

By depth
i

Values per depth band at the release grain, one thin bar per series. The bands are the record's own (0-10 … 2000+ m).

By month
i

Values per calendar month, one row per series: CalCOFI's quarterly cruises show as peaks in the months the ships sail.
