cff-version: 1.2.0 abstract: "Here, we present results from four different marine archives from the western and northern Arabian Sea. They were collected from different areas during different expeditions; SO42-74KL (in 1986; Kasten core) and NIOP905 (in 1993; piston core) from the western Arabian Sea, Oman - Somali upwelling zone; SO130-289KL (in 1998; Kasten core) and PASOM3 (in 2009; gravity core) from the northern Arabian Sea. This dataset presents core depths (in cm), corresponding calibrated ages expressed as cal kyr BP, long-chain diols fractional abundances, and related indices such as long-chain diol index (LDI) as Diol upwelling index (DI). The data covers the last 25 kyr BP." authors: - family-names: Erdem given-names: Zeynep orcid: "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5509-8733" - family-names: Lattaud given-names: Jullie - family-names: van Erk given-names: Marit M. - family-names: Reichart given-names: Gert-Jan - family-names: Lückge given-names: Andreas - family-names: Damsté given-names: Jaap S.
