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: V27-60 depth sst-aug 410 3.79 420 3.79 440 3.74 450 4.41 480 3.62 500 4.38 505 3.76 510 3.79 515 3.21 525 4.1 532 4.58 535 3.35 545 5.79 552 7.12 560 4.29 580 3.61 610 3.74 620 3.74 640 3.74 650 3.78 660 3.74 670 4.29
