The data comprise meters composite depth (mcd) versus a relative paleointensity (RPI) proxy from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Site U1306 drilled on the crest of the Eirik Drift (SW Greenland) in 2272 m water depth. The RPI proxy is natural remanent magnetization (NRM) normalized by anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM). The NRM/ARM paleointensity proxy was calculated as a slope over the 20-60 mT peak field demagnetization range. Also listed are the correlation coefficients (r) representing the definition of the slopes. NRM and ARM were measured on a pass-through u-channel magnetometer (see Channell et al., 2014). Planktic oxygen isotope (δ18O) and RPI data are used in tandem to generate an age model for the last 1 Myr from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Site U1306 drilled on the crest of the Eirik Drift (SW Greenland) in 2272 m water depth. For the 1-1.5 Ma interval, the age model is based on RPI alone due to insufficient foraminifera for isotope analyses. Utilizing RPI and δ18O in ...
