Sea surface temperature (SIMMAX) on planktic foraminifera of sediment core MD02-2489

SST were reconstructed from planktic foraminifera counts using the SIMMAX transfer function (Pflaumann et al., 2003). Calibration was performed by employment of the Atlantic database of GLAMAP 2000 (Pflaumann et al., 2003) to calibrate the compositions of North Pacific faunal assemblages to caloric summer SST at 10m water depth by means of the SIMMAX transfer function.
