NAME OF DATA SET: GeoB Isotopes and SST Estimates data set 
LAST UPDATE: 5/95 (Original receipt date by NOAA/ WDC-A Paleo) 
GEOGRAPHIC REGION: Angola Basin/Walvis Ridge, eastern South Atlantic Ocean
PERIOD OF RECORD: 0-200,000 YBP
LIST OF FILES: GeoB1008.dat, GeoB1016.dat, and GeoB1028.dat, Readme.
DESCRIPTION:
Geosciences Bremen SST estimates derived from the alkenone unsaturation index
(U-k-37, after Brassell et al, 1986) with the temperature calibration of  
PRAHL, et al.(1988).  Also reported are delta18-O isotope data from G.ruber 
and G.bulloides.  Data are reported for 3 cores in the eastern South Pacific,
 Angola Basin/Walvis Ridge.
