Paleoceanography # 14(1):22-33. #------------------ # # Description & Notes: # Interglacial North Atlantic Temperature and Salinity Data. # Benthic foraminifer d18O measurements used for the definition of the 5e plateau. # Planktonic foraminifer d18O measurements and summer SST used for reconstruction # of salinities for the last interglacial. Because the age scale of isotopic substage # 5e is difficult to build and subjective choices must be made, we decided to put # all the cores on the same depth (the depth of core JPC8) and then to constrain # the age scale following the age scale of Adkins et al (1997). # # Variables: # depth Depth (cm) # d18Oc.wuell delta O18 PDB (Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi) # d18Og.bull delta O18 PDB (Globigerina bulloides) # depth.jpc8 Depth correlated to JPC8 (cm) # d18Owater delta O18 PDB (water) # sst-aug Sea Surface Temperature (C, August) # sal Salinity # # CORE: NEAP18K depth d18Oc.wuell d18Og.bull depth.jpc8 d18Owater sst-aug sal 536 4.29 1.96 864 -999 -999 -999 540 4.09 1.78 870.1177 -0.111459 8.9 -999 544 3.96 1.74 876.2353 -999 -999 -999 548 3.89 1.92 882.353 0.823144 12.1 -999 552 3.77 1.93 888.4706 -8.852377E-02 8.4 -999 556 3.84 1.93 894.5883 -0.3451557 7.4 -999 560 3.97 1.88 900.7059 -0.1895808 8.2 -999 564 3.83 1.84 906.8235 4.960685E-02 9.3 -999 568 3.81 1.84 912.9412 -0.1021865 8.7 -999 572 3.74 1.59 919.0588 0.1245729 10.6 -999 576 3.69 1.86 925.1765 0.3945729 10.6 -999 580 3.59 1.96 931.2941 0.5688241 10.9 -999 584 3.58 1.73 937.4117 0.633144 12.1 -999 588 3.64 1.32 943.5294 0.1010264 11.6 -999 592 3.56 1.37 949.647 0.1755083 11.7 -999 596 3.46 1.26 955.7647 0.573018 13.8 -999 600 3.37 1.25 961.8823 0.8475764 15 -999 604 3.23 1.43 968 0.3331439 12.1 35.0826 608 3.27 1.57 978.9714 0.5703175 12.5 35.55695 612 3.24 1.4 989.9429 0.3274804 12.2 35.07127 616 3.27 1.48 1000.914 1.054009 14.9 36.52433 620 3.15 1.48 1011.886 0.5045394 12.6 35.42539 624 3.1 1.5 1022.857 0.78913 13.7 35.99457 628 3.23 1.39 1033.829 0.3660671 12.4 35.14845 632 3.12 1.47 1044.8 0.6633043 13.3 35.74292 636 3.18 1.45 1055.771 0.5470355 12.9 35.51038 640 3.2 1.24 1066.743 0.5768787 13.9 35.57007 644 3.11 1.29 1077.714 0.4352256 13.1 35.28677 648 3.11 1.22 1088.686 0.4133042 13.3 35.24292 652 3.18 1.11 1099.657 0.5182984 14.2 35.45291 656 3.1 1.24 1110.629 0.6482984 14.2 35.71291 660 3.26 0.98 1121.6 0.4831493 14.6 35.38261 662 3.09 0.92 1127.086 0.6350228 15.5 35.68636 664 3.21 0.95 1132.571 0.6650229 15.5 35.74636 666 3.09 1.01 1138.057 1.004292 16.7 36.4249 668 3.16 0.78 1143.543 0.7974017 16.8 36.01112 670 3.19 1.28 1149.029 1.389595 17.2 37.1955 672 3.13 0.95 1154.514 1.22 17.9 36.85631 674 3.2 1.72 1160 0.7928984 12.8 36.00211
