“…In particular, the coral skeletal strontium to calcium ratios (Sr/Ca) can reveal changes in sea surface temperature (SST) on monthly to interannual time scales through the growth of their skeletons (Jiang, Yu, Tao, et al., 2021; Smith et al., 1979; Yu, Zhao, Wei, Cheng, Chen, et al., 2005). Coral Sr/Ca records with precise dating have been used to extend the instrumental and historical records of ENSO variability into the past (Cobb et al., 2013; Hereid et al., 2013; Mohtar et al., 2021).…”

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), associated with quasi-periodic warming (El Niño) and cooling (La Niña) in the eastern and central tropical Pacific, is the major interannual variability of Earth's climate system that significantly impacts global climate, the ecological environment, and socioeconomic development (Cai et al., 2014;Timmermann et al., 2018). Knowledge of the natural ENSO activity in historical periods can provide important references for understanding the current climate conditions and predicting climate changes (Emile-Geay et al., 2021). Due to the short available observational records, past ENSO variability is generally reconstructed from various geological records, which can reveal regional environmental conditions that respond to ENSO activity (
