This is version 1.0 of the PALMOD 130k marine palaeoclimate data synthesis. The synthesis contains only time series for which a robust chronology based on benthic foraminifera δ18O and radiocarbon dating is available. The product contains 896 time series of eight palaeoclimate parameters from 143 individual sites, each associated with rich metadata, age-depth model ensembles and information to refine and update the chronologies. This version contains 205 time series of benthic foraminifera δ18O, 169 of benthic foraminifera δ13C, 131 of seawater temperature, 174 and 119 of planktonic foraminifera δ18O and δ13C and 44, 38 and 16 of carbonate, organic carbon and biogenic silica content, respectively. The data product is available in three formats (R, LiPD and netCDF) facilitating use across different software and operating systems.
