Approaching the Miocene Climatic Optimum in Patagonia (southern Argentina): temperature seasonality and a potential role for the opening Drake Passage

Supporting information for the manuscript titled "Approaching the Miocene Climatic Optimum in Patagonia (southern Argentina): temperature seasonality and a potential role for the opening Drake Passage" Dataset 1: Ivany et al Patagonia supplementary data.xlsx The dataset contains proxy compilations: Stable isotope data for fossil bivalves. Includes: Stratigraphic, age, and location information for each sample Stable isotope data for bulk shell samples Stable isotope data for sequential sampling of accretionary shell records, with distances along the transect Summary curve-fit statistics for each accretionary record Various estimates of seawater oxygen isotope value for calculating paleotemperatures- place the preferred value into the yellow highlighted box Dataset 2: Ivany_etal_Patagonia_iCESM_files.nc The dataset contains climate variables: sea surface temperature (deg C), sea surface currents (cm s-1). The experiments consist of the middle Miocene with 400 (Mio400) and 560 (Mio560) ppm CO2 concentrations. Dataset 3: Burls_etal_2021_MidMiocene_SST_compilation.csv The dataset contains middle Miocene proxy compilations of sea surface temperature generated from MioMIP1 manuscript (Burls et al., 2021).
