Replication data for 'Coastal lake sediments from Arctic Svalbard suggest colder summers are stormier'

<p> This dataset includes sediment analyses performed on core 601-21-6 GC (76°29'N, 16°33'E) from Lake Steinbruvatnet (Sørkappøya island, S Svalbard) and contains all data presented by Stachowska et al., 2024 (https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-3710647/v1). </p> <p> The investigated record was extracted during the summer of 2021 with a Uwitec gravity corer, analyzed throughout 2021-2023, and covers the past 9,700 cal. yrs B.P. Additionally, in the summer of 2023, we collected four sediment catchment samples (CS 1-4) to the West (CS 1) and the East (CS 2-4) of Lake Steinbruvatnet, and analysed them later in 2023 and 2024. Core 601-21-6 GC was taken to reconstruct Arctic storminess by pinpointing the timing and magnitude of wind-blown input from the westerly and the polar easterly winds. Lake Steinbruvatnet (max. 2.6 m deep) is an exposed coastal basin. Located along the western coast of Sørkappøya at about 5 m a.s.l. and dammed by a bedrock ridge (ca. 8 m a.s.l.) to the West, and a wide uplifted beach ridge to the South and East, the basin is protected from direct storm surges. Moreover, the lake has no out- or inlet, limiting the potential for non-eolian catchment-derived minerogenic input. The data are organized per paper figure and table, per .txt files.
