MGG07995003 abstract: The CLIMAP (Climate: Long-range Investigation, Mapping, andPrediction) Project was funded by the National Science Foundation aspart of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration (IDOE) Program. The CLIMAP 18k bp sediment data files were compiled by Oregon State University, and include the work of several major institutions. The files contain micropaleontology in the form of faunal counts of diatoms, planktonic foraminifera, coccoliths, and radiolaria, as well as stratigraphy (percent fine, coarse, total carbonate, oxygen 18 and carbon 13), and geochemistry (percent opal, quartz, and organic carbon), and inferred sea surface temperatures for 635 ocean sediment cores. Data are primarily from the period 18,000 years bp to the present. Time data give upper and lower samples depths, technique, and C14 dates (for total sample, coarse fraction, and fine fraction). Age estimates are given in thousands of years with upper and lower age error estimates. In addition, each data records contains station information. The CLIMAP 18k data set is available for direct download as a Paleoclimatology data set from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and collocated World Data Center for Paleoclimatrology. purpose: Paleoceanographic Research credit: International Decade of Ocean Exploration (IDOE), Climate Long-Range Prediction and Assessment Program (CLIMAP), U.S. National Science Foundation. status: (MD_ProgressCode) completed status: (MD_ProgressCode) historicalArchive pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information contactInfo: (CI_Contact) address: (CI_Address) electronicMailAddress: ncei.info@noaa.gov onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact name: NCEI Contact Information description: Information for contacts at NCEI. function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) information role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information positionName: Marine Geology Data Manager contactInfo: (CI_Contact) address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 325 Broadway, Mail Code E/NE42 city: Boulder administrativeArea: CO postalCode: 80305-3328 country: USA electronicMailAddress: geology.info@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) notPlanned maintenanceNote: Completed data set, no additions planned. graphicOverview: (MD_BrowseGraphic) fileName: https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/image/geolin/preview07995003.gif fileDescription: sample locations in study area fileType: GIF descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: CLIMAP > Climate - Long Range Investigation, Mapping and Prediction keyword: IDOE > International Decade of Ocean Exploration keyword: ICSU-WDS > International Council for Science - World Data System type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) project thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Project Keywords date: (CI_Date) date: 2020-01-09 dateType: (CI_DateTypeCode) publication edition: 9.1 citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords name: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords description: The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

These records have subsidiary data records. Replacements to these records were expected but never received from the CLIMAP office. The WDC for Paleoclimatology has done additional work on this data file and has a modified version available for download. NGDC performed basic out-of-range location testing. evaluationMethodDescription: Quality control was done by the originators and original investigators at Brown University, LDEO, and Oregon State University. Error codes are included in the data files as follows: 1 = CONFIRMED ESTIMATE (MORE THAN ONE TAXA USED), 2 = DATA SUPPORTED (MORE THAN ONE EQUATION USED), 3 = TREND SUPPORTED, 4 = UNSUPPORTED ESTIMATE, 5 = UNRESOLVED ESTIMATE. result: (unknown) lineage: (LI_Lineage) statement: Data were originally submitted to NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), then transferred to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) Paleoclimatology for stewardship. Both NGDC and NCDC are now part of NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). Processing and lineage prior to transmission to NGDC are unknown. Additional quality control and documentation was performed by NOAA Paleoclimatology. processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Received the latest update of the CLIMAP 18K sediment data from originator August of 1980, via mail on a nine track magnetic table in EBCDIC form, one file, 80 character records blocked to 5120 characters per block. There were 37,063 records (1,185 samples), but all but 822 latitudes and longitudes on this version were -999 (null), fewer than were filled in on the last version. The originator, Duncan, noted that revisions/corrections would be coming, but never received. Updates were probably contributed directly to NOAA Paleoclimatology. dateTime: DateTime: 1980-08-31T00:00:00 source: (LI_Source) description: Duncan McEwan, Oregon State University return to top dataQualityInfo: (DQ_DataQuality) scope: (DQ_Scope) level: (MD_ScopeCode) repository levelDescription: (MD_ScopeDescription) other: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information lineage: (LI_Lineage) processStep: (LE_ProcessStep) description: NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235.
