Description
The archive Muller_etal_2022_SE_1Ga_Opt_PlateMotionModel.zip contains the files for the plate model in an optimised mantle reference frame. GPlates or pyGPlates software (www.gplates.org) is needed to read these files.
The archive Muller_etal_2022_SE_mantle-ref-frame-oceanic-crustal-agegrids.zip contains the oceanic crustal age grids in netCDF-4 format for the optimised mantle reference frame plate model, while the archive Muller_etal_2022_SE_PMAG_oceanic-crustal-agegrids.zip contains the oceanic crustal age grids in netCDF-4 format for the paleomagnetic reference frame plate model from Merdith et al. (2021).
The agegrids associated with this model can be accessed at: https://repo.gplates.org/webdav/PlateModel_Age_SR_Grids/Muller_etal_2022_SE/
