#	Description: Compilation of published sea surface temperature reconstructions for the Last Interglacial interval (LIG; ~129,000-116,000 years before present). 
#	Version: 11 April 2019
#	Reconstructions of Last Interglacial annual (190 sites), December-January-February (DJF; 96 sites), or June-July-August (JJA; 89 sites) SST's. 
#	For the DJF estimates, we have assumed a thermal equator of 5 degrees North, where sites above this latitude 'Summer' = JJA, and 'Winter' = DJF
#	Sites south of this line have 'Summer' (warmer temps) = DJF and 'Winter' (cooler temps) = JJA
# 
#	Notes: ***Drift correction has not been applied to the two coral sites! ***Drift correction could not be applied to four sites in a land box when located using OFES.
#
#	Summary annual SST estimates from the LIG (global and laititudinal averages):

# 	Annual  sea surface temperatures (global and latitudinal averages)

# 	Annual SSTs, C 	Global Average SST	Tropics (-23.5 to 23.5)	North of 45N	South of 45S	North of 50N	South of 50S
