Radiocarbon variability recorded in coral skeletons from the northwest of Luzon Island, Philippines

Abstract: The North Equatorial Current (NEC) bifurcates at the eastern coast of the Philippines and moves northward as the Kuroshio, a North Pacific western boundary current. The NEC bifurcation point and Kuroshio variability are known to be affected by changes in climate such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation and the pacific decadal oscillation. However, observational data are not sufficient to examine the mechanisms of decadal fluctuation. Here, we report seasonal radiocarbon data recorded from 1968 to 1995 in coral… Show more

“…The SCS records, on the other hand, peaked in 1973 and recorded higher postbomb values than the WPO. Con Dao and Currimao, Philippines, (Hirabayashi, Yokoyama, Suzuki, Miyairi, Aze, Siringan, & Maeda, ) recorded the highest values at 173.8‰ and 165.8‰, respectively, while Hon Tre recorded 155.3‰. Palaui (151.2‰) and Houbihu (147.2 ‰) Δ 14 C values are comparable to Guam.…”

“…We hypothesize that the postbomb peak in 1973 has obscured the NBL‐related surface water entrainment, where the higher and spatially variable Δ 14 C distribution at these sites during this period precedes the mean circulation patterns. Other possible mechanisms include the influence of local oceanographic processes such as occurrence of mesoscale eddies and upwelling (e.g., Ishigaki, Hirabayashi, Yokoyama, Suzuki, Miyairi, Aze, Siringan, & Maeda, ). In contrast with the Palaui‐Guam Δ 14 C difference, Houbihu‐Guam Δ 14 C is not correlated with the NBL migration ( r = 0.22, p = 0.24, n = 31, not shown), likely due to its inward location within the strait where offshore Kuroshio influence is driven by the KI.…”

“…Three separate graphitization lines were used to perform steps 1–3. Shell carbonate samples with small masses (0.8–2.2 mg) were analysed in a specialized graphitization line by an AMS procedure capable of handling minute amounts of carbonate (Hirabayashi et al., 2017; Yokoyama, Koizumi, Matsuzaki, Miyairi, & Ohkouchi, 2010), whereas shell carbonate samples with larger masses (>3.0 mg) were processed in a standard graphitization line (Yokoyama, Miyairi, Matsuzaki, & Tsunomori, 2007). The organic samples (2.0–3.0 mg) were loaded into the standard graphitization line for cryogenic purification and reduction.…”

“…In the 1950s and early 1960s, atmospheric nuclear weapons testing produced large amounts of atmospheric 14 C (Grottoli & Eakin, 2007; Hua et al., 2009; Hua, Barbetti, & Rakowski, 2013), which approximately doubled the natural atmospheric 14 C value (Grottoli & Eakin, 2007; Hua et al., 2009, 2013). The transient 14 C enrichment of the biosphere and its subsequent dissipation, the bomb‐ 14 C curve, provides a high‐resolution isotopic chronometer for the last 60 years (Hirabayashi et al., 2017; Hua et al., 2009, 2013) that has been used extensively in environmental (Murphy, Davis, Long, Donahue, & Jull, 1989; Ota et al., 2019; Rethemeyer et al, 2004), forensic (Zoppi et al., 2004) and biogeochemical studies (Furla, Galgani, Durand, & Allemand, 2000; Ishikawa, Hyodo, & Tayasu, 2013; Ishikawa, Uchida, Shibata, & Tayasu, 2010; Ota et al., 2019; Stenström et al., 2010; Wong & Levinton, 2006).
