This repository holds the data files associated with manuscript Grant et al., Regional amplified warming in the Southwest Pacific during the mid-Pliocene (3.3-3.0 Ma). The R Script and R Data used to analyse the data and produce the figures can be found in GitHub repository https://github.com/GRG-GNS/Pliocene-SST-Southwest-Pacific.git ###########Terms and units Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are in degrees Celsius. Latitude are in degrees north. Longitude in degrees east. NZESM (New Zealand Earth system model; Williams et al., 2016), UKESM (United Kingdom Earth System model; Sellar et al., 2019), HadISST 1870-1879 AD (HadleyCentre Sea Ice and Sea Surface Temperature; NCAR, 2022), mPWP (mid-Pliocene Warm Period 3.3 - 3.0 Ma), MIS5e (Marine Isotope Stage 5e; 125 ka). SSP1 /2/ 3 (Socio-economic Pathways; IPCC). UK'37 - alkenone biomarker SST proxy TEX - TEX86 biomarker SST proxy Two periods were extracted from NZESM and UKESM i) 2036-2040 AD for SSP 2, and ii) 2090-2099 AD for SSP1, SSP 2, SSP 3. These are provided as stand alone values and in reference to HadiIST (e.g. NZESM - HadISST or NZESM.HadISST) Table 2. Statistical distribution of mid-Pliocene Warm Period (3.3-3.0 Ma) Sea Surface Temperatures anomalies (SST; °C) relative to HadiSST (1870-1879 AD) using BAYSPLINE calibration (Tierney and Tingley, 2018). The total range is calculated as the difference between maximum and minimum temperature and represents glacial to interglacial extremes. Table 3. Site annual mean Sea Surface Temperature anomalies (SST; °C) for UKESM and NZESM with respect to HadISST (1870-1879 AD) for SSP2-4.5 2040 AD (2036–2045 AD). Table 4. Site annual mean Sea Surface Temperature anomalies (SST; °C)for UKESM and NZESM with respect to HadISST (1870-1879 AD) for SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0 at 2095 AD (2090–2099 AD). Table A1. Comparison between derived SST using BAYSPLINE with TEX86 -index SST calibrations of Schouten et al. (2002), Kim et al, (2010), OPTIMAL (Dunkley Jones et al., 2020) and BAYSPAR (Tierney and Tingley, 2015). Table S1. ...
