Age matched with Lough et al. (2014) NEL coral suite.

Sampled at bulk 2-yearly growth increments (biennial resolution) using a stainless steel drill tip on a moveable stage. Analysis precision reproducibility is calculated for JCp-1 for trace elements (TE) as reported in Lewis et al. (2007) and TE/Ca is as reported in Lewis (2005). Analysis precision reproducibility based on repeat measurements of internal standard (Pandora). REEs measured.

SST-TE calibrations are based on adjusting previous equations for Magnetic Island temperature range. SrCa is adjusted Gagan et al. (1998), UCa is adjusted Min et al. (1995). Additional adjusted MgCa calibrations are listed in Lewis (2005).
