Data underlying the research of Paleoclimate proxies from the lacustrine record of the Gantang section in the Yuannmou Basin, Southwest China during the Pliocene

This dataset is derived from the analysis of field profile samples collected in the Yuanmou Basin, Southwest China. The data include Rb and Sr elemental abundances measured by a Handheld XRF analyzer and Volume Susceptibility measured by a Bartington Instruments MS3 magnetic susceptibility system, and the data span the time period from 3.9 to 2.7 Ma with a resolution of about 600 years, which is intended to investigate the variability of the millennial-scale South Asian summer monsoon in the Pliocene period.

本数据集源自中国西南元谋盆地野外剖面样品的分析测试。数据涵盖手持式X射线荧光光谱仪（Handheld XRF）测定的铷（Rb）、锶（Sr）元素丰度，以及巴丁顿仪器公司（Bartington Instruments）MS3型磁化率系统测得的体积磁化率；数据时间跨度为3.9至2.7百万年（Ma），分辨率约600年，旨在探究上新世时期千年尺度南亚夏季风的变率特征。
