chronology constructed using seasonal cycles in d18O as well as density couplets in xrays. "we assigned the most enriched value of d18O in each cycle to consecutive Augusts (the average coldest month) down core. We inter- polated linearly between age-assigned d18O data points (sequential Augusts) to assign intra-annual ages, using programs in the ARAND software package (available at http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/softlib/arand/arand.html) (P. Howell, personal communication, 1998). "

The coral captures approximately 60% of the full range of annual SST (4i¿½C = 0.88%).
