Spatio-Temporal Relative Sea Level Curve (RSL)

DESCRIPTION:  



The spatio-temporal relative sea level curve (RSL) was developed using the software SealEveL EquatioN solver - version 4 (SELEN4; https://zenodo.org/record/3520451) (Spada et al. 2019), the global ice sheet reconstruction (ICE-5G (VM2); https://pmip2.lsce.ipsl.fr/design/ice5g/) (Peltier 2004) and DEMSRE3a (https://zenodo.org/record/1637816).



MAPPED VALUES: 



Relative sea level stand below present in meter. 



SPATIAL RESOLUTION: 



The spatial resolution of the dataset is 0.2 degrees (WGS84).



TEMPORAL RESOLUTION: 



Relative sea level for every 500 years from 0 BP to 26000 BP.  



The dataset is provided in two formats:  



1. TILED IN ASCII (RSL_tiles.zip): 



53 tiles of 10x10 degrees per folder each representing the relative sea level for a 500 yr time period.  



Directory naming: 

structure: //RSL..asc 

example: 10/010-020/RSL.005.asc

2. MOSAIC IN TIF (RSL_mosaic.zip): 



53 global maps each presenting the relative sea level for a 500 yr time period.  



File naming: 

structure: RSL.tif
