Abstract:

101 year stable isotope record from P. lobata, core 4B, Clipperton Atoll, eastern Pacific. Sampling at annual and 12/year resolution, files clipperton.4B.iso.txt and clipperton.4B.iso.12yr.txt. 25 year stable isotope record, spanning 1994 to 1970, from cores 3C and 2B, Clipperton Atoll, as shown in Linsley et al 1999. Files clipperton.2B.iso.txt and clipperton.3C.iso.txt.
