In this work we present a continuous record of quantitative estimations of eastern-western E-W Med water exchange since the last deglaciation, including the YD and the S1 events. Estimations are based on neodymium isotope (εNd) measurements on planktic foraminifera Fe-Mn crusts. We use a sediment core NDT-6-2016 collected during the Next Data expedition (CNR-URANIA R/V, Date/Time : 2016-06-25T05:19:44) in the transition area between the W-Sicily channel and the southern Tyrrhenian Sea (38°0'26,60'' N and 11°47'44,84''E) at 1066 m of water depth. The core depth is below the present-day interphase between WMDW and the EMSW outflowing through the Strait of Sicily, thus a suitable location to evaluate changes in the intermediate-deep water exchange between the two main Mediterranean sub-basins.

This dataset has been carefully reviewed and curated in accordance with PANGAEA's exceptionally high quality standards. However, due to discontinued communication from the authors' side, it did not receive the usual formal approval by the authors and therefore lacks final scientific validation.
