.. function:: PaleoceanOxygenIsotopes.getAverageSedimentationRates(startyear: Number?, endyear: Number?)

    Get average sedimentation rate value (unit: centimeter per kiloyear).
    
    If ``startyear`` or ``endyear`` is provided, only measurements within the given range will be returned.

    **Arguments:**

    - ``startyear: Number?`` (`Number </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Number>`__) - first year of data to include
    - ``endyear: Number?`` (`Number </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Number>`__) - least year of data to include

    **Returns:** ``List`` (`List </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#List>`__) - a list of average sedimentation rate by year


.. function:: PaleoceanOxygenIsotopes.getDelta18O(startyear: Number?, endyear: Number?)

    Get delta 18O value (unit: per mill. It is a parts per thousand unit, often used directly to
    refer to isotopic ratios and calculated by calculating the ratio of isotopic concentrations in
    a sample and in a standard, subtracting one and multiplying by one thousand).
    
    If ``startyear`` or ``endyear`` is provided, only measurements within the given range will be returned.

    **Arguments:**

    - ``startyear: Number?`` (`Number </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Number>`__) - first year of data to include
    - ``endyear: Number?`` (`Number </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Number>`__) - least year of data to include

    **Returns:** ``List`` (`List </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#List>`__) - a list of delta 18O values by year


.. function:: PaleoceanOxygenIsotopes.getDelta18OError(startyear: Number?, endyear: Number?)

    Get delta 18O error value (unit: per mill).
    
    If ``startyear`` or ``endyear`` is provided, only measurements within the given range will be returned.

    **Arguments:**

    - ``startyear: Number?`` (`Number </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Number>`__) - first year of data to include
    - ``endyear: Number?`` (`Number </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Number>`__) - least year of data to include

    **Returns:** ``List`` (`List </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#List>`__) - a list of delta 18O error values by year


.. function:: PaleoceanOxygenIsotopes.getNormalizedSedimentationRates(startyear: Number?, endyear: Number?)

    Get normalized sedimentation rate value (unit: dimensionless).
    
    If ``startyear`` or ``endyear`` is provided, only measurements within the given range will be returned.

    **Arguments:**

    - ``startyear: Number?`` (`Number </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Number>`__) - first year of data to include
    - ``endyear: Number?`` (`Number </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Number>`__) - least year of data to include

    **Returns:** ``List`` (`List </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#List>`__) - a list of normalized sedimentation rate by year
