Age model of the marine core KL 15 taken in Gulf of Aden during R/V Meteor cruise 5/2

Here, we present data from the marine core from Meteor Site KL 15 drilled in 1987 during R/V Meteor cruise 5/2 at station 259 (12.85738°N, 47.41707°E). As summarized in the age model, the record spans the past 546 thousand years at a high sampling resolution of 1 cm with a total core length of 21.67 m. The age-depth model is based on 21 AMS 14C ages and 243 stable oxygen isotope ages and was constructed using a smooth spline regression with the R package Clam (Blaauw, 2010).
