Age of the Ocean Floor: A Digital Data Set for the Labrador Sea and Western North Atlantic

A digital grid of ocean floor ages was constructed from a combination of magnetic anomaly identifications and recent plate kinematic models of the North Atlantic and Labrador Sea. Comparing large gridded geophysical data sets with these gridded age values is a powerful means of studying the variatio...
