Compilation of multi-tracer data sets

At the ORFOIS Modelling Meeting (March 21-22, 2002 in Yerseke, The Netherlands) a decision was taken concerning "What variables (and in what units) want the modellers to be seen in the data base ?". During the ORFOIS First annual workshop (January 20-21, 2003 in Hamburg, Germany) this decision was even more specified that this compilation of multi-tracer data sets for the model validation would be desirable for the following sites (in alphabetical order):
