Alkenones and SST of surface sediments (Appendix)
We have analysed alkenones in 149 surface sediments from the eastern South Atlantic in order to establish a sediment-based calibration of the U37K' paleotemperature index. Our... -
Phytoplanktonic microfossil groups of sediments from the South and Equatorial...
Individual planktonic microfossil species, or assemblage groups of different species, are often used to, qualitatively and/or quantitatively, reconstruct past (sub)surface-water... -
High resolution study of sediment core GeoB3606-1
Based on a high-resolution analysis of the diatom signal and biogenic bulk components at site GeoB3606-1 (25°S, off Namibia), we describe rapid palaeoceanographic changes in the... -
Distribution of coccoliths in surface sediments of the south-eastern South At...
Recent coccoliths from 52 surface sediment samples recovered from the south-eastern South Atlantic were examined qualitatively and quantitatively in order to assess the... -
Dissolution index of Globigerina bulloides in recent and Last Glacial Maximum...
The modern Atlantic Ocean, dominated by the interactions of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) and Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), plays a key role in redistributing heat from the... -
Global data compilation of benthic data sets II
In this study we present a global distribution pattern and budget of the minimum flux of particulate organic carbon to the sea floor (J POC alpha). The estimations are based on... -
Benthic foraminifera off West Africa (1°N to 32°S)
Recent benthic foraminifera (> 125 µm) were investigated from multicorer samples on a latitudinal transect of 20 stations between 1°N and 32°S along the upper slope off West... -
Physical properties measured on 23 sediment cores from METEOR cruise M34/1
During METEOR Cruise M 34/1 all recovered gravity cores were subject to laboratory geophysical studies. A routine shipboard measurement of three physical parameters was carried... -
Abundance of calcareous dinoflagellates of sediment cores from the South Atla...
Despite the increasing interest in the South Atlantic Ocean as a key area of the heat exchange between the southern and the northern hemisphere, information about its... -
Relative abundance of dinoflagellate cysts in surface sediments and dinoflage...
In this study we investigate the potential of organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts) as tools for quantifying past sea-surface temperatures (SST) in the Southern Ocean.... -
Compilation of 220 sediment core δ¹³C data from the glacial Atlantic Ocean
We compare a compilation of 220 sediment core d13C data from the glacial Atlantic Ocean with three-dimensional ocean circulation simulations including a marine carbon cycle... -
Last Glacial Maximum seawater temperature estimates based on planktonic foram...
Estimates of Last Glacial Maximum annual mean seawater temperatures at 50 m depth. The temperature estimates are derived using the Modern Analogue Technique using the ForCenS... -
Maximum annual SST estimates during the early LIG (129-124 ka; 189 sites)
Drift correction has not been applied to the two coral sites!Drift correction could not be applied to four sites in a land box when located using OFES. -
Annual SST estimates for the Last Interglacial (129-116 ka BP)
Drift correction has not been applied to the two coral sites!Drift correction could not be applied to four sites in a land box when located using OFES. -

Organic carbon accumulation in the South Atlantic Ocean
A compilation of 1118 surface sediment samples from the South Atlantic was used to map modern seafloor distribution of organic carbon content in this ocean basin. Using new data... -
