Model outputs from Lamb, S., Moore, J., Perez-Gussinye, M., Stern, T. (2020). Global whole lithosphere isostasy: implications for surface elevations, structure, strength and densities of the continental lithosphere, Geochem, Geophys, Geosyst., doi :10.1029/2020GC009150 Data sets supplied here are the outcome of modelling described in the text. Files are given in either ASCII or GMT grd format. Data Set S1 (ds01.grd). Gridded crustal model of Antarctica based on whole lithosphere isostasy described in this study, and used to construct Figure 7c. Data columns are: x distance, y distance, crustal thickness. In GMT grd format with bounds in km -R-3000/3000/-3000/3000 -I5. Uses same projection as Bedmap 2 - see Fretwell et al. (2013) for details of projection. Suggested colour palette in GMT: seis -T0/60/2.5 -I Data Set S2 (ds02.xyz). Average elevation and crustal thickness of continental interiors calculated in this study, used to plot Figure 3c and described in text, using a standard lithospheric thickness of 100 km. Data columns are: Name, area, average elevation (m), average reduced elevation for 100 km standard lithosphere (m), average lithospheric thickness (km), average crustal thickness (km), 1 sigma uncertainty in elevation (m) or reduced elevation (m), 1 sigma uncertainty in lithospheric thickness (km), 1 sigma uncertainty in crustal thickness (km). ASCII file. Data Set S3 (ds03.grd). Gridded elevation anomalies (observed elevation – elevation calculated from whole lithosphere isostasy), as described in text and used to construct Figure 8. Data columns are: Longitude, Latitude, elevation anomaly (m). In GMT grd format with bounds in degrees -R-179/179/-60/80 -I1. Suggested colour palette in GMT: seis -T-2000/2000/200 -Z -I -M -D --COLOR_NAN=white Data Set S4 (ds04.grd). Gridded global crustal density perturbation model calculated to give zero elevation anomaly, based on elevation anomalies in Data Set 3, used to plot Fig. 9a. Data columns are: Longitude, Latitude, crustal density perturbation in kgm-3. In ...
