Data files associated with the k-nearest neighbor global prediction of isopachs for present to middle Miocene

This compressed dataset (Dataset 1) includes five folders. Each folder contains the observed data, final predictors and final predictions used for global predictions of isopachs from present to mid-Miocene aged sediments. The name of each folder corresponds to the name of the isopach for which the data is related to. For example, the folder named “Isopach0.0_1.8” contains all the data for the 0-1.8-million-year-old isopach.

 

All grids contained within this supplemental material are netCDF4 file format. The grid pitch for all “.nc” files is uniformly at 5-arc minute denoted by “.5m”. Grids are cell-centered sized 4320 x 2160. Within each folder, there contains observed data used in the prediction. This observed data is in centimeters logarithmic base 10 units. Additionally, within each folder there is a final k-NN prediction file and standard deviation (i.e. uncertainty) file. The units for both the prediction file and uncertainty file are in meters.

 

Collectively, there are 85 unique predictor grids. Predictor grid file names adhere to the naming conventions outlined below. The naming structure is partioned by underscores and periods in the following order: interface to which the gridded values refer to, quantity of values contained within the grid, units and reference values/units (e.g. meters below sea level), data source, statistic calculated (if applicable), grid pitch, and file extension (.nc).

 

Possible interfaces from the top – down:

SS – Sea surface – atmosphere interface (may also be average of the entire water column)

SF – Seafloor – water interface (may also be denoted by GL)

GL   – Ground level (e.g. bottom of pure liquid, top of dirt)

SC – Sediment – crust interface (e.g. sediment above, igneous/metamorphic below)

CM – Crust – mantle interface (e.g. Mohorovicic discontinuity)

 

Other grids which have been generated by empirical means are latitude (and derivatives), and longitude (and derivatives).

 

Units referenced are as follows:

 

M - meters

MS - meters per second

DEG – degree

DD – decimal degrees

M_ASL - meters above sea level (i.e. meters referenced to sea level)

TGC_YR-1 - terragram of carbon per year

TGYR - terragram per year

PSU – percent salinity units

MLL – milliliters per liter

PCTSAT – percent saturation

C – degree centigrade

PDW – percent dry weight

MCML -micromole per milliliter

KG_M-3 – kilogram per cubic meter

MG_M-3 – milligram per cubic meter

MG_CM-2 - milligram of carbon per square meter

MOL_M3-1 – moles per cubic meter

 

 

 

Predictor statistics grids are calculated within a given radius (e.g. 10km, 50km, 100km, 125km, 200km, 250km, 500km) of the respective cell-centered value. The statistics grids include mean (.men), the absolute value of the common logarithm (.alg) and the mean of the common logarithm (.mlg). Additionally, some grids are a weighted count (.wct) for given radii (e.g. seamounts) where weight is a cosine taper from the center of the grid cell. 

 

Some grids are denoted by “DECADAL_AVERAGE” or “MISSION_MEAN”. These respective markings denote the values within the grid represent the average of values within a decade (10 year) or over the entire mission of the instrument (e.g. reflectance values from satellite mission). Further, an “s” or “x” in addition to the source name indicates additional conditioning on the final grid was required. The “x” simply indicates upsampling or extension to polar regions was performed via various interpolation techniques (e.g. bilinear or machine learning). The “s” indicates there was smoothing (i.e. averaging over set radii) required to produce a qualitatively geologically reasonable global dataset.
