relatively stable periods in the past, such as the Last Glacial Maximum, represent an important means of constraining climate sensitivity and evaluating model simulations. The first quantitative global reconstruction of sea surface temperatures during the Last Glacial Maximum was developed by the Climate Long-Range Investigation, Mapping and Prediction (CLIMAP) project in the 1970s and 1980s. Since that time, several shortcomings of that earlier effort have become apparent. Here we present an updated synthesis of sea surface temperatures during the Last Glacial Maximum, rigorously defined as the period between 23 and 19 thousand years before present, from the Multiproxy Approach for the Reconstruction of the Glacial Ocean Surface (MARGO) project. We integrate microfossil and geochemical reconstructions of surface temperatures and include assessments of the reliability of individual records. Our reconstruction reveals the presence of large longitudinal gradients in sea surface temperature in all of the ocean basins, in contrast to the simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum climate available at present. STUDY NOTES: An updated synthesis of sea surface temperature reconstructions at the Last Glacial Maximum (23 - 19 KYrBP), from the Multiproxy Approach for the Reconstruction of the Glacial Ocean Surface (MARGO) project. Microfossil and geochemical reconstructions of SST are included, plus assessments of the reliability of individual records.

NGS-2008-09-00905 Supplementay Information Definition of the quality flags used in the computation of the mean reliability index. 1. Quality flag for number of samples, qnum qnum = 1 when the number of samples within the LGM interval is > 4 = 2 when the number of samples within the LGM interval is 2 to 4 = 3 when there is only 1 sample within the LGM interval 2. SST reconstruction reliability flag, qrel 2.a. Planktonic foraminifera abundances qrel = 1 when the maximum difference in SST estimates among the 4 techniques < 2°C = 2 when the maximum difference in SST estimates among the 4 techniques is 2 to 4°C = 3 when the maximum difference in SST estimates among the 4 techniques > 4°C or when samples are dominated by only one species (relative abundance > 95%) 2.b. Diatoms and radiolarians abundances The full definition is given in 1. It can be summarized as follows. For Imbrie and Kipp2 derived SST estimates based on diatom and radiolarian assemblages three quality levels have been defined using the communality value obtained for the downcore samples. qrel = 1 communality >0.8. For diatom estimates only: SST difference between radiolarian and diatom based estimate <1.5°C = 2 communality = 0.7 to 0.8. For diatom estimates only: SST difference between radiolarian and diatom based estimate <1.5°C = 3 communality <0.7. For diatom estimates only: SST difference between radiolarian and diatom based estimate > 1.5°C For Modern Analog Technique3 derived estimates of SST and sea ice extent based on the diatom record three quality levels have been defined taking into account the dissimilarity index. qrel = 1 dissimilarity < 0.1 = 2 dissimilarity = 0.1 to 0.2 = 3 dissimilarity = 0.2 to 0.25 Samples with dissimilarity values above 0.25 indicate no-analog situations and have been discarded. 2.c. Dinoflagellate cysts abundances The full definition is given in 4. It can be summarized as follows. qrel = 1 distance between sample and best analog < 37 = 2 distance between sample and best analog = 37 to 74 = 3 distance between sample and best analog > 74 2.d. Alkenones unsaturation ratio qrel = 3 for core depths shallower than 100m, or sites with present day annual mean SST higher than 28.5°C, or colder than 4°C = 2 for core depths shallower than 1000m, or Mediterranean Sea sites, or sites with present day annual mean SST higher than 27.5°C = 1 in other cases 2.e. Planktonic foraminifera Mg/Ca qrel = 1 for near-surface dwelling species (G. ruber, G. sacculifer, N. pachyderma s.) AND core depth shallower than 3000m in Atlantic or shallower than 2000m elsewhere = 2 for non-near surface dwelling species OR core depth larger than 3000m in Atlantic or larger than 2000m elsewhere = 3 for non-near surface dwelling species AND core depth larger than 3000m in Atlantic or larger than 2000m elsewhere DATA: Supplementary data tables S1 through S9, archived in text and Excel format.

By convention (International Hydrographic Bureau 1953), the meridian of Cape Agulhas (20°E) was taken as the boundary between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, the meridian of the southern cape of Tasmania (147°E) was taken as the boundary between the Indian and Pacific Oceans and the meridian of Cape Horn (68°W) was taken as the boundary between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The Nordic Seas and Arctic Ocean were included in the Atlantic Ocean. Supplementary figures, archived in PDF format. Fig. S1. Map of reconstructed minimum LGM SST anomalies.
