Current and productivity patterns in the equatorial Pacific across the last glacial maxium based on radiolarian east-west and downcore faunal gradients

Radiolarians were studied in 11 box-cores retrieved in the western (160°E), central (135°W) and eastern (90°W) equatorial Pacific. The western and central cores span the last ca. 40 000 yrs, while the eatern core is estimated to reach approx. 12 000-17 000 yrs. Time-average data show very sharp asse...
