Database of the accepted manuscript : Arellano-Torres et al., 2023. The Loop Current circulation over the MIS 9 to MIS 5 based on planktonic foraminifera assemblages from the Gulf of Mexico. Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, DOI:10.1029/2022PA004568 In the sediment Core EN-032-18PC collected below the influence of the Loop Current in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, we studied mixed layer conditions and the intensity of the surface and subsurface waters flowing from the Caribbean to the gulf. This database includes analyses of 136 samples in three Supplementary Tables. (Table S1) Bulk sediment and sand fraction (>62 μm) weight (g), the absolute abundance (tests per sample) of 33 species of planktonic foraminifera. (Table S2) Relative abundance (%) of planktonic foraminifera and factor loadings of two factors (Q-mode factor analysis). (Table S3) Stable isotopes (δ 18 O-PDB and δ 13 C-PDB) (‰) of Globigerinoides ruber (white) and the loess-smoothing of the series with polynomial regression. - Marine sediment core information and sampling.
