The contents of these archives are supplementary to the paper: Müller, R.D., Cannon, J., Tetley, M., Williams, S.E., Cao, X., Flament, N., Bodur, Ö.F., Zahirovic, S. and Merdith, A., in review, A tectonic-rules based mantle reference frame since 1 billion years ago – implications for supercontinent cycles and plate-mantle system evolution, Solid Earth Discussions, doi.org/10.5194/se-2021-154. https://se.copernicus.org/preprints/se-2021-154/ The archive Muller_etal_2022_SE_1Ga_Opt_PlateMotionModel.zip contains the the files for the plate model in an optimised mantle refernce frame. GPlates or pyGPlates software (www.gplates.org) is needed to read these files. The archive Muller_etal_2022_SE_mantle-ref-frame-oceanic-crustal-agegrids_V1.*.zip contains the oceanic crustal age grids in netcdf4 format for the optimised mantle reference frame plate model, while the archive Muller_etal_2022_SE_Merdith21_PMAG-ref-frame-oceanic-crustal-agegrids_v1.*.zip contains the oceanic crustal age grids in netcdf4 format for the paleomagnetic reference frame plate model from Merdith et al. (2021)
