The successions display a pattern of CIA values that varies with latitude, similar to modern estuarine suspended sediments. Based on the modern-day CIA-temperature correlation, the glacial Early Permian low- to high-latitude land surface temperature gradient is estimated as ∼20 °C, slightly higher than the calculated values for the contemporaneous sea-surface temperature gradient.
