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) # sst-aug Sea Surface Temperature (C, August) # # CORE: CH69-K9 depth sst-aug 1100 15.67 1105 15.75 1110 18.8 1115 16.24 1120 17.59 1125 16.86 1130 12.96 1135 18.37 1140 18.33 1145 17.18 1150 16.56 1155 18.5 1160 19.91 1165 18.5 1170 19.91 1175 19.51 1180 18.58 1182 18.69 1190 18.75 1195 18.89 1200 20.38 1206 20.29 1210 16.49 1215 20.04 1219 20.45 1223 19.69 1224 19.31 1226 16.3 1230 18.53 1235 14.39 1238 16.16 1240 16.56 1245 17.84 1248 16.16 1250 14.47 1255 17.61 1257 17.75 1260 15.53 1261 17.15 1265 18.47 1268 17.83 1270 15.2 1275 14.85 1280 11.58 1285 12.07 1290 10.18 1295 9.29 1298 9.84 1304 14.29 1305 13.48 1306 14.97 1310 16.91 1315 12.96 1318 10.18 1320 10.41 1321 10.43 1325 13.59 1328 13.41 1330 11.69 1335 11.56 1338 11.37 1340 11.82 1345 11.47 1348 11.45 1350 10.9 1351 10.29 1355 9.5 1359 9.29 1365 10.29 1370 11.16 1372 11.41 1379 18.46 1381 16.54 1385 14.44 1390 15.55 1392 13.42 1395 11.86 1400 11.48 1402 10.73 1405 10.6 1410 16.23 1412 16.85 1415 17.15 1419 11.48 1421 11.45 1425 11.48 1430 11.48 1432 11.37 1435 11.16 1440 16.03 1445 14.1 1450 13.74 1452 16.03 1455 14.39 1460 13.6 1462 14.49 1464 14.12 1470 14.1 1472 13.4 1475 13.26 1480 10.87 1482 11.37 1485 11.56 1490 11.4
