Description

NetCDF files providing the calculated d18O of seawater for the whole Phanerozoic based on salinity fields from HadCM3 simulations and published d18O-salinity relationships. The reader will find some information below, and is referred to the scientific article for additional details.

Files use the format: d18Oanalysis_hadcm3-time-tfks_[age]_[d18O-salinity-relationship].nc
with
- [age], the age of the HadCM3 time slice, expressed in million years ago (Ma), ranging from '0' to '541';
- [d18O-salinity-relationship] being either 'RailsbackAnderson1989' or 'Gaskelletal2022' (both datasets are stored in separate .zip archives).

List of variables:
- sst: HadCM3 sea-surface temperature [°C]
- sss: HadCM3 sea-surface salinity (corrected to give a whole-ocean mean of 34.7 psi) [psu]
- d18O_gb_ocean: time-specific global-mean oceanic d18O derived from Grossman and Joachimski (2022) [‰]
- d18O_water: d18O of seawater derived from sss (and d18O_gb_ocean) using the d18O-salinity relationship of Railsback et al. (1989) (for [d18O-salinity-relationship] == 'RailsbackAnderson1989') or Gaskell et al. (2022) (for [d18O-salinity-relationship] == 'Gaskelletal2022') [‰]
- d18O_phos: d18O of phosphate derived from sst and d18O_water, using the temperature-d18O equation of Pucéat et al., (2010) [‰]
- T_interpreted_no_latitudinal_correction: ocean sea-surface temperature derived from d18O_phos assuming a d18O of seawater equal to d18O_gb_ocean [°C]
- T_interpreted_Zachos1994: same as T_interpreted_no_latitudinal_correction but correcting local d18O of seawater for latitude after Zachos et al. (1994) [°C]
- T_interpreted_GJ2022: same as T_interpreted_no_latitudinal_correction but correcting local d18O of seawater for latitude after Grossman and Joachimski (2022) [°C]
- local_d18O_deviation: d18O_water - d18O_gb_ocean
- lat2D: 2-dimensional array of latitude 
- lon2D: 2-dimensional array of longitude

The 'SST interpretation bias' should be calculated as T_interpreted* - sst.
