Paleo Data Assimilation of Coral δ18O Part 2: 20th‐Century Trends and Variability of the Tropical Pacific

Limited instrumental observations have created uncertainties in the rates and patterns of historical variations in tropical sea‐surface temperature, precipitation, and salinity. Coral archives are well suited to monitor past variations in the tropical oceans; in particular, the oxygen isotope composition (δ18O) has the...

Recent strengthening of eastern Pacific ENSO in the last millennium paleorecord.

The Pacific El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) generates climate extremes that endanger ecosystems, infrastructure, and human well-being worldwide. The response of this system to climate warming is poorly constrained, due both to data scarcity and uncertainties in climate models. The geochemistry of Galápagos coral sk...

Paleo Data Assimilation of Coral δ18O Part 1: Best Practices and Uncertainties

Uncertainties in early 20th‐century observations limit understanding of the full range of internal climate variability and muddle understanding of climate system response to external forcing. Coral archives can provide high‐resolution information about historical sea‐surface temperatures (SSTs) and hydroclimatic change...
