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/cm(2)/yr) as well as pollen grains, spores, organic l...

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/cm(2)/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/m(2)yr). 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.
