﻿Dataset Title: Age and long chain diol index from four sediment cores from the Arabian Sea


This dataset presents the same results from 4 different sediment cores (sites) with names  SO42-74KL, NIOP905, SO130-289KL and PASOM3
Sediment cores; NIOP905, SO47-74KL, PASOM3, and SO130-289KL, were obtained from the north and the western Arabian Sea, covering the last 25 kyr and 35 kyr respectively.

The dataset includes calibrated ages (expressed as kyr BP), long-chain diol index (LDI), and estimated sea surface temperature (SST) based on calibration de Bar et al., 2020. 
Information is grouped according to a sediment core, and each group presents exactly the same information for each core. 
The sediment core for specific data group is indicated by the corresponding name at the 1st where age is given. 

each group (dataset for each sediment core) are separated with a column. 
In this case Column A-C: data of core PASOM3; E-G: SO130-289KL; I-K: NIOP905; M-O: SO42-74KL  
Rows depend on the availability of samples per sediment core and show variability.
