Journal ArticleDOI
Indonesian throughflow controlled the westward extent of the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool during glacial-interglacial intervals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconstruct the seawater temperature and precipitation changes (from Mg/Ca and δ18O of surface-dwelling planktic foraminifera Globigerinoides ruber) of the last ~184 kyr BP from the westernmost margin of the IPWP.
Dissertation
Foraminiferal and coralline barium as paleoceanographic tracers
TL;DR: The distribution of Ba in the ocean is similar to the refractory components, silica and alkalinity, since Ba substitutes for Ca in the lattice of these biogenic phases.
Book ChapterDOI
Sea Surface Temperatures in the Western Equatorial Pacific During Marine Isotope Stage 11
TL;DR: Mg/Ca data from ODP Hole 806B on the Ontong Java Plateau, western equatorial Pacific, indicate that marine isotope stage (MIS) 11 was the warmest interglacial episode of the last 450 ky Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) reached just above 30°C MIS 11 is also characterized by the longest sustained period (-20 ky) of SST ≥ 29°C The maximum in MIS 11 SST is flanked by strong minima in SST (25 to 26°C) in glacial MIS 10 and 12 RE
Journal ArticleDOI
Model evidence for a seasonal bias in Antarctic ice cores
M. P. Erb,M. P. Erb,M. P. Erb,Charles S. Jackson,Anthony J. Broccoli,David W. Lea,Paul J. Valdes,Michel Crucifix,Pedro N. DiNezio +8 more
TL;DR: The authors show that the temperature response to this forcing seemingly differs in models and Antarctic ice cores, with a better agreement reached if ice cores are recording a seasonally weighted signal.
