Abstract. Paleoclimate information on multiple climate variables at different espaciotiotemporal scales is increasingly important to understand environmental and societal responses to climate change. A lack of high-quality reconstructions of past hydroclimate has recently been identified as a critical research gap. Speleothems, with their precise chronologies, widespread distribution, and ability to record changes in local to regional hydroclimate variability, are an ideal source of such information. Here we present a new version of the Speleothem Isotopes Synthesis and AnaLysis database (SISALv3), which has been expanded to include trace element ratios and Sr-isotopes as additional, hydroclimate-sensitive geochemical proxies. The oxygen and carbon isotope data included in previous versions of the database have been substantially expanded. SISALv3, contains speleothem data from 364 sites from across the globe, including 94 Mg/Ca, 83 Sr/Ca, 51 Ba/Ca, 25 U/Ca, 29 P/Ca and 14 Sr-isotope records. The database also has increased espaciotiotemporal coverage for stable oxygen (831) and carbon (588) isotope records compared to SISALv2. Additional meta information has been added to improve machine-readability and filtering of data. Standardized chronologies are included for all new entities together with the originally published chronologies. The SISALv3 database thus constitutes a unique resource of speleothem paleoclimate information that allows regional-to-global paleoclimate analyses based on multiple geochemical proxies, allowing more robust interpretations of past hydroclimate and comparisons with isotope-enabled climate models and other earth system and hydrological models.

ملخص. تزداد أهمية معلومات المناخ القديم حول المتغيرات المناخية المتعددة على نطاقات مكانية وزمنية مختلفة لفهم الاستجابات البيئية والمجتمعية لتغير المناخ. تم تحديد الافتقار إلى عمليات إعادة البناء عالية الجودة للمناخ المائي السابق مؤخرًا على أنه فجوة بحثية حرجة. تعد الكلمات، مع تسلسلها الزمني الدقيق، وتوزيعها على نطاق واسع، والقدرة على تسجيل التغييرات في تقلب المناخ المائي المحلي إلى الإقليمي، مصدرًا مثاليًا لهذه المعلومات. نقدم هنا نسخة جديدة من قاعدة بيانات Spleothem Isotopes Synthesis and AnaLysis (SISALv3)، والتي تم توسيعها لتشمل نسب العناصر النزرة والنظائر المتسلسلة كوكلاء جيوكيميائيين إضافيين حساسين للمناخ المائي. تم توسيع بيانات نظائر الأكسجين والكربون المدرجة في الإصدارات السابقة من قاعدة البيانات بشكل كبير. SISALv3، يحتوي على بيانات speleothem من 364 موقعًا من جميع أنحاء العالم، بما في ذلك 94 ملغ/كالسيوم و 83 ريال سعودي/كالسيوم و 51 باسكال/كالسيوم و 25 وحدة دولية/كالسيوم و 29 P/Ca و 14 سجل نظائر سر. كما زادت قاعدة البيانات من التغطية المكانية والزمانية لسجلات النظائر المستقرة للأكسجين (831) والكربون (588) مقارنة بـ SISALv2. تمت إضافة معلومات تعريف إضافية لتحسين قابلية القراءة الآلية وتصفية البيانات. يتم تضمين التسلسل الزمني الموحد لجميع الكيانات الجديدة جنبًا إلى جنب مع التسلسل الزمني المنشور في الأصل. وبالتالي، تشكل قاعدة بيانات SISALv3 موردًا فريدًا لمعلومات المناخ القديم التي تسمح بتحليلات المناخ القديم الإقليمية إلى العالمية بناءً على وكلاء جيوكيميائيين متعددين، مما يسمح بتفسيرات أكثر قوة للمناخ المائي السابق ومقارنات مع نماذج المناخ التي تدعم النظائر والنماذج الأرضية والهيدرولوجية الأخرى.
