Using a new global compilation of deep-sea 14C/C, we estimated (in Rafter et al. 2022) the average D14C (units of per mil) and 14C ventilation age (units of years) over the last 25,000 years for the deep Pacific, Atlantic, and Southern Oceans. Particularly, we estimated these basin averages for mid-depth waters (between the 27.5 to 28.0 neutral density surfaces) and bottom waters (having a neutral density >28.0). These basin averages are calculated using LOESS smoothing, but see the original text for more details. Our reasons for uploading this new data are: (1) An earlier dataset here contained an error for the mid-depth Atlantic; (2) Earlier datasets did not include the trends as D14C values; and (3) Earlier datasets did not include the Raw data (the data before normalization). We have corrected this with the new submission. Please cite the Rafter et al. 2022 when using this dataset.

This version replaces dataset doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.946522. One data file was incorrect (prafter-2022-LOESS-14C-Deep-Sea.csv). Additional files are uploaded in this version.The files with 14Cvent in their title are the deep-sea average LOESS trends for the difference between the seawater 14C and atmospheric 14C ages (a.k.a., the 14C ventilation age in units of years). Files with D14C in their title are the same data, but reported in the D14C notation (units of per mil). The word NORM indicates that these trends are normalized to sample depth to ensure there is no biasing. Alternatively the word RAW in the title refers to the raw dataset, without any normalization according to depth.
