Abstract: Abstract It has become apparent, since publication of our Letter on low nitrate: phosphate ratios in the global ocean (T. Tyrrell and C. S. Law, Nature 387, 793–796; 1997; correction, Nature 393, 396; 1998), that the World Ocean Atlas 1994 (WOA94) database we used contains transcription errors for nutrient measurements. Discrepancies between the original data and the corresponding data sets in WOA94 have been confirmed for the eastern tropical Pacific (identified by A. Longhurst and S. Sutherland), the western North Pacific (M. Aoyama, K. Hirose and K. Ishikawa) and the Agulhas retroflection area south of South Africa (R. Schlitzer and A. Longhurst).
