Comment:
The database consists of the paleoclimate data used in this simulation. It is composed of one text file for each climate variable: (1) minimum annual precipitation, (2) maximum annual precipitation, (3) minimum annual temperature, and (4) maximum annual temperature. Within each file, each row represents a single map cell (4820 in total). The first two columns are the geographical coordinates of each grid cell (latitude and longitude in decimal degrees). The succeeding columns describe the climate variable at each time slice of the series, at successive 500-year intervals. Each column is labeled Tx, where x is thousands of years before present. For example, column “T795.5” of file “PrecipAvgAnnualMax.txt” contains the map cell data for maximum annual precipitation at 795.5kya.
