DecadalScale SST and Salinity Variations in the Central Tropical Pacific: Signatures of Natural and Anthropogenic Climate Change

Geochemical variations versus depth were converted to variations versus time using AnalySeries software [Paillard et al., 1996]. Geochemical variations in d18O were used to determine a first-order age model, with the maximum intra-annual peaks in d18O being assigned as the coldest month of the year (August), beginning with the year 2007, when the living coral was cored. This first-order age model places d18O variations in the time domain, with uneven time increments (Dt). A second-order age model, with a monthly Dt, was created using the AnalySeries software program, which was verified by comparing years with anomalous d18O values to known ENSO events where possible. This second-order age model is the final age model used in all plots and data analysis.
