The dataset contains long‐term means of δ18Oprecipitation values and temperatures from 84 European sites (GNIP database; IAEA/WMO, 2023), which were used to estimate mean annual (palaeo-) temperatures from the measured oxygen isotope data on horse tooth enamel phosphate. Mean temperatures of the warmest (July/August) and coldest (December/January) periods were considered representative for summer and winter temperatures, respectively, using the peak and trough values of the modelled phosphate data for their calculation.
Temperatures and δ18Oprecipitation values of 84 European sites (GNIP, IAEA/WMO, 2023). Given are long-term averages of mean annual temperatures (MAT) and the respective summer (July/August) and winter (December/January) temperatures.
