title: Paleomagnetic and rock magnetic data from sedimentary core collected at high latitude (NW Barents Sea): reconstructed age models and PSV - RPI stacks for the last 22 kyr

description: This dataset includes paleomagnetic and rock magnetic analyses from four sediment cores collected on continental slope of Storfjorden (EG-02, EG-03, SV-04) and Kveithola (GeoB17603-3) trough‐mouth fans and two cores collected at the crest of the Bellsund (GS191-01PC) and Isfjorden (GS191-02PC) sediment drifts (NW Barents Sea). The dataset gave the opportunity to reconstruct variation of past geomagnetic field at high latitude for the last 22 kya and define the path of the virtual geomagnetic pole (VGP). Data are presented as two metadata table: one with definitions of the column heads and one with the core details; six tables with the data on the measured rock magnetic and paleomagnetic parameters and 3 tables with the results of data analyses and elaboration. List of tables is as follows: 1) Metadata: definition of columns heads; 2) Metadata: core details; 3) GS191-01PC: down-core variation of rock magnetic and paleomagnetic parameters [k (10E-05 SI); ARM (A/m); MDF (mT); NRM (A/m); MAD (°); Incl PCA (°); Decl PCA (°)] for Core GS191-01PC; 4) GS191-02PC: down-core variation of rock magnetic and paleomagnetic parameters [k (10E-05 SI); ARM (A/m); MDF (mT); NRM (A/m); MAD (°); Incl PCA (°); Decl PCA (°)] for Core GS191-02PC; 5) EG03: down-core variation of rock magnetic and paleomagnetic parameters [k (10E-05 SI); ARM (A/m); MDF (mT); NRM (A/m); MAD (°); Incl PCA (°); Decl PCA (°)] for Core EG03; 6) EG02: down-core variation of rock magnetic and paleomagnetic parameters [k (10E-05 SI); ARM (A/m); MDF (mT); NRM (A/m); MAD (°); Incl PCA (°); Decl PCA (°)] for Core EG02; 7) SV04: down-core variation of rock magnetic and paleomagnetic parameters [k (10E-05 SI); ARM (A/m); MDF (mT); NRM (A/m); MAD (°); Incl PCA (°); Decl PCA (°)] for Core SV04; 8) GeoB17603-3: down-core variation of rock magnetic and paleomagnetic parameters [k (10E-05 SI); ARM (A/m); MDF (mT); NRM (A/m); MAD (°); Incl PCA (°); Decl PCA (°)] for Core GeoB17603-3; 9) Cores Correlation: GS191-01PC depth (cm) and ARM (A/m) down-core variations for core GS191-01PC (master core); GS191-02PC depth (cm), GS191-02PC depth transferred to GS191-01PC depth (cm), ARM (A/m) down-core for core GS191-02PC and correlation tie points; GeoB17603-3 depth (cm), GeoB17603-3 depth transferred to GS191-01PC depth (cm), ARM (A/m) down-core for core GeoB17603-3 and correlation tie points; EG02 depth (cm), EG02 depth transferred to GS191-01PC depth (cm), ARM (A/m) down-core for core EG02 and correlation tie points; EG03 depth (cm), EG03 depth transferred to GS191-01PC depth (cm), ARM (A/m) down-core and correlation tie points; SV04 depth (cm), SV04 transferred to GS191-01PC (cm), ARM (A/m) down-core for core SV04 and correlation tie points; 10) Age model: age model for Core GS191-01PC; GS191-02PC; EG02; EG03; SV04 and correlation tie points; 11) NBS stack: paleomagnetic inclination, declination and RPI variations for NBS22.2k stack. In order to define high-resolution correlation between the cores the along-core variation of rock magnetic and paleomagnetic parameters (Sagnotti et al., 2011; Caricchi et al., 2018; Caricchi et al., 2019) have been integrated with the distribution of characteristic lithofacies (Lucchi et al., 2013), and the available age constraints (Sagnotti et al., 2011; Caricchi et al., 2018, Caricchi et al., 2019; Caricchi et al., 2020). Core to core correlation has been reconstructed by means of the StratFit software (Sagnotti and Caricchi, 2018), which is based on the Excel forecast function and linear regression between subsequent couples of selected tie-points. The data are presented as one Excel sheet with eleven tables and in tab-delimited ASCII format in the zip folder: 2022-028_Caricchi-et-al_data-txt.zip.
