Deglacial to Holocene Ocean Temperatures in the Humboldt Current System as Indicated by Alkenone Paleothermometry

The data consist of Alkenone derived near-surface temperatures on six sediment cores and XRF measurements performed on one sediment core. The sediment cores were retrieved in the Humboldt Current System during two oceanographic cruises (M77/2 and M135). Cores M77/2-029-3, M77/2-024-5, M77/2-005-3, M77/2/003-2, M135-004-3(252-3 GC 5) and M135-005-3(254-3 GC 6). XRF measurements (Br/Ti and Mo/Ti) were done on core M135-004-3(252-3 GC 5).
