Tropical Atlantic temperature seasonality at the end of the last interglacial

Abstract: The end of the last interglacial period, ~118 kyr ago, was characterized by substantial ocean circulation and climate perturbations resulting from instabilities of polar ice sheets. These perturbations are crucial for a better understanding of future climate change. The seasonal temperature changes of the tropical ocean, however, which play an important role in seasonal climate extremes such as hurricanes, floods and droughts at the present day, are not well known for this period that led into the last glacial… Show more

“…Representation of tropical Atlantic SST seasonality during the LIG is so far limited to two coral studies from the Caribbean. A 4-year strontium/calcium (Sr/Ca) Montastraea faveolata record from 127 ka recorded SST seasonality 1 • C higher than present (Winter et al, 2003), while a 20-year Diploria strigosa Sr/Ca record at the end of the LIG (118 ka) reconstructed SST seasonality within the present-day range (Felis et al, 2015). Prior to the LIG, three Porites sp.…”

“…Sr/Ca variations within D. strigosa have been successfully demonstrated to replicate Caribbean instrumental temperature trends during the past century (Hetzinger et al, 2006(Hetzinger et al, , 2010, highlighting the importance of site specific modern day records for the interpretation of palaeoclimatic reconstructions. Our study benefits from being able to assess SST variability based on D. strigosa coral Sr/Ca records from Bonaire (southern Caribbean) in the context of the modern day, the midto late Holocene (Giry et al, 2012(Giry et al, , 2013 and the end of LIG (Felis et al, 2015). Our well preserved coral material allows further explorations of the factors affecting tropical Atlantic SST variability for multiple occasions throughout the LIG.…”
