Late Pleistocene Sea Level Stack

Source: R/isotopes.R
spratt2016.Rd

A Late Pleistocene sea level stack based on marine sediment core data (foraminiferal carbonate \(\delta^{18}O\)).

Usage

spratt2016

Format

A data.frame with 799 observations and 9 variables:

age_calkaBP

integer: age (calendar kilo year BP).

SeaLev_shortPC1

numeric: sea Level (meters above present day), climate reconstructions (scaled first principal component of seven sea level reconstructions (0-430 ka)).

SeaLev_shortPC1_err_sig

numeric: sea Level standard deviation from bootstrap (meters), climate reconstructions (scaled first principal component of seven sea level reconstructions (0-430 ka)).

SeaLev_shortPC1_err_lo

numeric: sea Level 95% confidence interval lower bound (meters), climate reconstructions (scaled first principal component of seven sea level reconstructions (0-430 ka)).

SeaLev_shortPC1_err_up

numeric: sea Level 95% confidence interval upper bound (meters), climate reconstructions (scaled first principal component of seven sea level reconstructions (0-430 ka)).

SeaLev_longPC1

numeric: sea Level (meters above present day), climate reconstructions (scaled first principal component of five sea level reconstructions (0-798 ka)).

SeaLev_longPC1_err_sig

numeric: sea Level standard deviation from bootstrap (meters), climate reconstructions (scaled first principal component of five sea level reconstructions (0-798 ka)).

SeaLev_longPC1_err_lo

numeric: sea Level 95% confidence interval lower bound (meters), climate reconstructions (scaled first principal component of five sea level reconstructions (0-798 ka)).

SeaLev_longPC1_err_up

numeric: sea Level 95% confidence interval upper bound (meters), climate reconstructions (scaled first principal component of five sea level reconstructions (0-798 ka)).
