This relationship between the d180 of the water (~w) and salinity is shown in Eqn. 2 and Fig. 2 (r = +0.71, n = 38, p > 0.05). Salinity = 4.98dw + 25.89 (2) Combining Eqns. (1) and (2), an expression (Eqn. 3) is derived expressing salinity in terms of the ~c and T. Salinity = 4.98delta18Ocoral + 1.18T + 19.62 (3) The confirmation of a positive correlation between salinity and the d180 (ffthe water (dw) seems to discount the notion that significant amounts of freshwater from Shark Slough, which is isotopically enriched in lsO (Meyers et al. 1993), is influencing the salinity of Lignumvitae Basin. If this water were influencing the salinity of Lignumvitae Basin then either an inverse correlation or no correlation at all would be expected between ~w and salinity.

Salinity = 4.98delta18Ocoral + 1.18T + 19.62

Cores cores from the same study and a previous study Swart 1996, Swart 1999 NOAA has different corrdinates for this coral 25 0N, 80 36W, Looking at Google earth and Hudsons map, the Swart 1999 corrdinates incorrect, they should be 24 degrees 55 minutes N, and ~80 degrees, 43.5 minutes W. paper mentions a d18O record for FB-6 that was in a Masters thesis but only Ba/Ca is on NOAA website
