Abstract
Pleistocene age surface temperature reconstructions from the geological record were synthesized into one standardized dataset for comparison with model-derived surface temperature estimates using the CCSM3 climate model. Surface temperature is one of the primary variables of interest to climatologists and, fortunately, one of the few that can be quantitatively reconstructed over geological time scales using a number of independent methods. This database is a compilation of published temperature records (land and ocean) that meet three sets of criterion, involving length, temporal resolution, and chronostratigraphic control. Records that meet the criterion (delineated below) are appropriate for robust, quantitative comparison with model-derived surface temperature estimates. The format of the data set is designed for ease of incorporation and manipulation in MATLAB.
