T = temperature." "a The equilibrium temperature was determined by trial-and-error minimization of the misfit between the synthetic equilibration curve and the recorded data in temperature vs. F(alpha,t) space. " "The errors are assigned subjectively based on the magnitude of the correction applied to the data, the degree of in-bottom disturbance, and the tool used. " "b K indicates the average, uncorrected thermal conductivity value used to convert from depth to resistance. Because no laboratory thermal conductivity data are available for sediments recovered deeper than 210 mbsf at Sites 994 or 995, " a value of 0.94 W/(m*K) was adopted for all in situ temperatures measured deeper than 200 mbsf.
