A diatom-based sea-ice concentration (SIC) transfer function is developed using 72 surface samples from west of Greenland and around Iceland, and through comparison with the associated modern SIC. Can
Sediment depth is given in mbsf. Abundance estimates as follows: A = abundant, C = common, F = frequent, R = rare, B = barren, r = reworked, - = not found.
Abundance: D = dominant >60%, A = abundant 30-60, C = common 15-30, F = few 3-15, R = rare <3, T = trace, X = present, - = none. Preservation: G = good, M = moderate, P =...
