GDGT and Alkenone Flux in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
December 16, 2016
This dataset is a weekly to bi-weekly resolution 4-year time series (2010-2014) of GDGT and alkenone flux in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The TEX86 and U indices are also included, which are sea surface temperature proxies based on the distribution of GDGTs and alkenones, respectively. For further information regarding data collection and/or processing methods refer to Richey and Tierney (2016).

GDGT and alkenone flux in the northern Gulf of Mexico: Implications for the TEX86 and UK137 paleothermometers
The TEX86 and molecular biomarker proxies have been broadly applied in down-core marine sediments to reconstruct past sea surface temperature (SST). Although both TEX86 and have been interpreted as proxies for mean annual SST throughout the global ocean, regional studies of GDGTs and alkenones in sinking particles are required to understand the influence of seasonality, depth distribution and di
