    Sea surface temperature calculation for the Arabian Sea

    https://b2find.eudat.eu/dataset/82ab40fc-9ae4-54aa-8e91-149aa4544c39

    Sea surface temperature (SST) and seawater d18O (d18Ow) were reconstructed in a suite of sediment cores from throughout the Arabian Sea for four distinct time intervals (0 ka, 8 ka, 15 ka, and 20 ka) with the aim of understanding the history of the Indian Monsoon and the climate of the Arabian Sea region. This was...
