RSL: relative sea level indicators
Dated relative sea level indicators (index points and limiting data). RSL is a records dataset (non-gridded data, see Records): its products, defined in RSL/records.toml, are prepared files in the form of the CF discrete sampling geometries, written to $FESMDATA_PRODUCTS/Records/RSL/RSL-<product>.nc.

GAPSLIP 2.1 (Gowan, 2023), doi:10.5281/zenodo.10121689 | Greenland: 1019 samples at 47 locations, up to 44 ka | rsl, rsl_min, rsl_max (m, 2σ), type (marine limiting, index point, terrestrial limiting), time, time_min, time_max (years ago, 2σ), lab_id, site_name, sector, reference |
Each sample is an observation (featureType point, dimension obs) with its lat, lon and time in years before 1950 CE (units “years ago”, calibrated ages).

Making the dataset
julia fesmdata.jl record RSLprepares the missing sources (<Source>/prepare.jl), checks the prepared files and copies them to $FESMDATA_PRODUCTS/Records/RSL/ (--overwrite to replace them).
