VARVE DATA

In this folder are the varve records used in the associated paper on the NAVC.
A separate PDF shows the position and range of all varve records that have been
matched to the NAVC in New England and New York State in the form of a time-distance plot. The records that have
not been used in this paper are available on the North American Varve Project web
site (see Ridge, 2012 reference in paper)

All records are given with NAVC varve year numbers of the revised chronology.
Below is a listing of all the varve records given here. The "AM" on a file
name indicates that the record is in NAVC varve years. Numbers indicate the
approximate NAVC (AM) varve year range covered in hundreds of years. The full
range of correlated varve records that make up the NAVC runs from AM 2700 to AM 8358.


Antevs' records are all given with NAVC varve yr and total varve thickness (cm)
 as digitized and calibrated from paper records in Antevs (1922, 1928) by
 Jack Ridge.

The corrected records from Antevs (1922, 1928) are:

New NAVC records (except for Canoe Brook and PAS2 in Vt.) are all given with
 NAVC varve yr, summer layer thickness (cm), winter layer thickness(cm),
 total thickness (cm), and a column that may have notes on corrections,
 core names, and overlapping varves. The Canoe Brook and PAS2 records are
 compiled with NAVC varve year and total thickness (cm) only.
