DESCRIPTION:
Northwest Pacific Stable Isotope Data.

This directory contains foraminifer stable isotope data published in 
Keigwin (1998) Paleoceanography, plus additional files of d18-O (PDB) 
data from N. pachyderma (left) in the size fraction 150-250 mm 
not included in the paper.  These include files b34-91.txt, 
rndb_16ggc.txt, and vino_26bc_pachy.txt.  You are welcome to use 
the data from the other cores, with appropriate attribution.  

Only the data from cores Vinogradov 37GGC and 17GGC, and 
Nesmeyanov 15GGC were figured in Keigwin 1998 Paleoceanography.  
For 37GGC and 15GGC, the calendar age model is provided 
in the middle column.
