Data

Based on the GEBCO 2014 dataset [1], the area between the 0m coastline of today and the -120m coastline of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), is derived and provided in this dataset. To achieve a more realistic and higher resoluting coastline, for producing larger scale maps, the gebco dataset was interpolated from the 30 arc seconds original resolution, to a 0,001 degree resoluting raster.

This geospatial dataset, in raster and vector format, is a Köppen-Geiger climate classification of the MPI-ESM-P Last Glacial Maximum (21k yBP) r1i1p1 model simulations according to the PMIP III 21k experiment. The classifications were computed using the Python pyGRASS library and GRASS GIS.

Python based pyGRASS scripts implementing Köppen-Geiger climate classifications from CMIP5 and PMIP3 climate model simulation datasets. And a script for computation of area statistics of the classification data, as well as documentation for using the scripts and accessing the source climate simulation data.

This dataset represents palaeo climate classification according to the updatede Köppen-Geiger [1] classification scheme. The classifiaction is derived from the PMIP2 [2] palaeoenvironmental simulations data for the time virables of LGM (21k), Mid-holocene (6k) and Pre-Industrial (0k). For the LGM, a LandMask consisting of the -120m coastline [3] was used, for the Mid-Holocene and Pre-Industrial classifications the coastlines of today [4] wehere used.
