Palynological data of cores MSM5/5–712–2 and PS2863/1–2 from northeastern Fram Strait spanning the last glacial maximum to present

The palynogical data of two sites from northeastern Fram Strait (MSM5/5–712 and PS2863) encompassing the last 23,000 years are presented here. The data set first includes the palynomorph concentrations: dinocysts (cysts/g) and their fluxes (cysts/cm2/yr) as well as pollen grains, spores, organic lin...

Description
Summary:The palynogical data of two sites from northeastern Fram Strait (MSM5/5–712 and PS2863) encompassing the last 23,000 years are presented here. The data set first includes the palynomorph concentrations: dinocysts (cysts/g) and their fluxes (cysts/cm2/yr) as well as pollen grains, spores, organic linings, Halodinium, reworked palynomorphs and Pediastrum represented in #/g. It also includes the relative abundance (%) of dinocyst taxa at sites MSM5/5–712 and PS2863. Finally, this Data in Brief comprises reconstructions of sea-surface conditions at the two sites, which include sea-surface temperature (°C) in summer and winter, sea-surface salinity (psu) in summer and winter, sea-ice cover (month/yr) and productivity (gC/m2yr). The most probable values in addition to minimum and maximum possible are reported. The data is presented in function of the cores depth and age. For more details on this data and the chronology of the cores, see [1].
