We created a synthesis of IPWP (Indo-Pacific warm pool) hydroclimate during the LGM using proxy data, to better understand the tropical response to glacial background conditions. See DiNezio and Tierney (2013) for more details.
The csv text data files contain the following columns (beside the self-explanatory Location, Core ID, Proxy and Reference columns):
| Column name | Detail |
|---|---|
| Longitude | Longitude of grid-cell center (degrees East) |
| Latitude | Latitude of grid-cell center (degrees North) |
| Category | Indicates whether the proxy captured: dry(val=-1)/unchanged(val=0)/wetter(val=1) fresh(val=-1)/unchanged(val=0)/salty(val=1) climate at the LGM |
| Is_robust | _raw files: Is_robust=1 indicates when different proxy techniques agree in their estimates of LGM hydroclimate at each location Is_robust also takes the value of 1 when only one proxy technique is used _gridded files: is_robust=1 indicates that the observations merged into each “gridded” point agree is_robust=0 merged observations did not agree |
| N_obs | Number of proxy techniques used to estimate LGM hydroclimate from each location |
| chrono_flag | _raw files only: chrono_flag=1 indicates whether the proxy record contains one or more radiocarbon U/Th or well-constrained OSL dates near to or during the LGM chrono_flag=0 indicates that the LGM was dated via wiggle-matching the local benthic d18O to a global stack or another method |
