ocean-atmosphere climate coupling acts to enhance the IOD-related climate signal captured by coral ?18O over that expected from SST anomalies alone

The annual range in coral ?18O is larger than expected based on SST alone, using published coral ?18O-SST dependencies of between 0.17??i¿½C?1 and 0.23??i¿½C?1 [Gagan et al., 2012]. Previous studies in the Mentawai Islands chain have shown that ocean-atmosphere climate coupling acts to enhance the IOD-related climate signal captured by coral ?18O over that expected from SST anomalies alone [Abram et al., 2007, 2008]. The sharp 18O enrichments that characterize the winter isotopic maximum in the South Pagai coral similarly support an additional and complementary rainfall modulation of the coral record during the IOD season.
