PALEO DATA
Paleo-MARSPEC is the MARSPEC equivalent for mid-Holocene (MH) and Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ocean climates. Climatic data layers are derived from general circulation models of the MH and LGM developed for the second phase of the Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project.  The data are calibrated with modern conditions from the monthly MARSPEC climate layers and statistically downscaled to 5 arc-minute (~10km) spatial resolution (details in Sbrocco 2014). Geophysical data layers are derived from modern bathymetry assuming a 120 meter drop in sea level for the LGM or modern conditions for the MH.

paleo-MARSPEC is derived from the paleoclimate simulations described in the following paper - please cite it too:
