Abstract:
Individual files of an interactive paleoceanographic atlas (version 2024.0) provided online at paleodataview.marum.de in form of text and netCDF files containing late Quaternary paleoceanographic data of individual sites. The database contains a compilation of raw data (vs. sampling depth) and processed time series for foraminiferal isotope ratios, foraminiferal Mg/Ca and alkenone temperature along with radiocarbon dates. The webtool provides a zoomable map and options to filter, select, view and download data in various formats. Among other purposes, the online database may be of interest for stratigraphy, teaching, project/expedition planning and data-model comparisons.

Comment:
The World Paleoceanographic Atlas 2024_0 provides proxy data as a data collection for the free software tool PaleoDataView (WPA_2024_0_PDV.zip), as ASCII files (WPA_2024_0_ASCII.zip) and as netCDF files (WPA_2024_0_netCDF.zip). The netCDF and ASCII folders contain subfolders with the raw data, equidistant time series in 0.5 kyr steps, and irregular time series generated for sample positions in the core. References and data sources are given in the individual files.
