Abstract:
This table includes the new SNW data produced for this manuscript. The foraminiferal weight data is normalized using the measurement-based weight (MBW) method of Barker (2002). SNW measurements were collected from Atlantic core-tops and sediment cores for G. truncatulinoides, G. ruber, O. universa, N. pachyderma, N. incompta and G. bulloides.
