1 GLODAPv 2 . 2019 – an update of GLODAPv 2

The manuscript reports about an update of the GLADAPV2 data set. The Upgrade consist of the addtion of the observation collected by 116 cruises across the world Ocean. The manuscript describes location of the cruises, the data collected , the quality check performed on the data as well as the integration of the new data into the general datas set. Although the manuscript does not report any new or original finding, it is however informative about the data that can be found and analysed using GLODAP and can therefore represent an useful reference for researcher aiming to explore the GLODAP data set. The manuscript is well written and pictures and table are all useful and correctly presented. I recommend publication of the manuscript as it is .
