This zipped data repository accompanies the paper "Paleoecology indicates wave conditions as key factor in coral reef development". SM-1: Orthomosaics and associated quality reports from AgiSoft Metashape The orthomosaics referenced in this paper are detailed in the Excel file "Table SM-1". Orthomosaics are organized by respective island and available as a .TIFF file. Each project is then accompanied by a corresponding quality report generated using AgiSoft Metashape Professional edition (version 2.1.0 build 17532). SM-2: dGNSS Data All processed differential GNSS survey points are outlined in the Excel file “Table SM-2”. EMLID Studio was used for the primary GNSS post processing. In the Stop-and-Go function within the app, GPS and GLONASS signals were processed using the Fix and Hold setting for Integer Ambiguity Resolution. On Aruba, base station data is provided by EarthScope Consortium (was UNAVCO). Archived RENIX streams were downloaded for station ID CN19, located at the northern tip of Aruba.

The column Elev. Final (m) represents the Emlid studio rover corrected elevation translated to EGM08. Easting RMS, Northing RMS and Ellipsoid RMS are 2-simga outputs from Emlid Studio. The final Elevation RMS [termed Combined Elevation RMS] is the RMS of the max EGM08 cubic interpolation and quantization errors (0.0022 m) combined with the Ellipsoid RMS output from Emlid Studio. RMS represent 95%. SM-3: 124 ka atmospheric circulation model parameters and output The annual mean U- and V- components of the 10 m wind velocity model outputs for the 124 ka and pre-industrial model (PI) are provided as netCDF files under /SM-3 Wind_Models/. SM-4: Hydrodynamic model set-up and output Delft 3D model set-ups and outputs for the 127 ka, 124 ka, and PI hydrodynamic models are organized into respective sub-folders under /SM-4 Wave_Models/.
