This dataset consists of a table with key information (metadata) about published Miocene temperature records, which can be downloaded as a comma-separated values (csv) text file having the following content:
* `pid` ID number (in this dataset) for a proxy data study
* `id` ID number (in this dataset) for the current revision of metadata
* `site` Site name
* `type` Type of temperature record
* `proxy` Proxy data type
* `basin` Ocean basin
* `latitude` Modern latitude (degrees, positive is North)
* `longitude` Modern longitude (degrees, positive is East)
* `sst` Modern sea surface temperature (°C)
* `bwt` Modern bottom water temperature (°C)
* `depth` Modern water depth (m)
* `depthPaleo` Paleo water depth (m)
* `substage` Age description (see list with abbreviations for definitions)
* `ageStart` Starting age (Ma)
* `ageStop` Ending age (Ma)
* `resolution` Average Sample Resolution (kyr)
* `referencesFull` References to papers describing the data
* `referencesShort` References in abbreviated form
* `urlData` DOI address to the data (or other web address if no DOI exists)
* `repository` Data repository
The csv file is saved with utf-8 encoding. It can be opened in any standard text editor, spreadsheet or other data analysis software. Several guides for how to import this type of file in Excel are available on the web, e.g. at the [Institute for Advanced Study](https://www.itg.ias.edu/content/how-import-csv-file-uses-utf-8-character-encoding-0).
