Factors contributing to deep slab dip angles in reconstructions of past mantle flow

This repository contains data files for the manuscript 'Factors contributing to deep slab dip angles in reconstructions of past mantle flow' submitted to Earth-Science Reviews by J. Weber and N. Flament

The provided data are vote maps of global tomographic models and global temperature anomalies for case C10.

The directory 'pswave_votemap' contains vote maps of 33 global P- and S-wave tomographic models at 32 selected depths between 0 km and 1040 km (depths were selected to match that available for global mantle flow models). The name convention is 'pswave_votemap_$depth.nc' and the file format is NetCDF CF Convention 1.7.

The directory 'pwave_votemap' contains vote maps of 15 global P-wave tomographic models at 32 selected depths between 0 km and 1040 km (depths were selected to match that available for global mantle flow models). The name convention is 'pwave_votemap_$depth.nc' and the file format is NetCDF CF Convention 1.7.

The directory 'swave_votemap' contains vote maps of 18 global S-wave tomographic models at 11 selected depths between 396 km and 1040 km (depths were selected to match that available for global mantle flow models). The name convention is 'swave_votemap_$depth.nc' and the file format is NetCDF CF Convention 1.7.

The directory 'C10' contains the present-day temperature anomalies predicted for case C10 at 32 depths between 396 km and 1040 km. The name convention is 'C10_dimensional_temperature_anomaly_$depth.nc' or 'C10_non_dimensional_temperature_anomaly_$depth.nc' and the file format is NetCDF CF Convention 1.7. Dimensional temperature anomalies were obtained by multiplying non-dimensional temperature anomalies by 3100.

These files were created using version 6 of the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT6; Wessel et al., 2019).
