El Nino-Southern Oscillation-related salinity variations recorded in the skeletal geochemistry of a Porites coral from Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu

Malo Channel, Espiritu Santo Island, Vanuatu

tied the annual minima in d18O to February (on average the warmest month) and maximum  d18O to August/September (on average the coolest months). And comparing the d18O  records to Nino3.4 (central equatorial Pacific region bounded by 5i¿½S?5i¿½N and 120i¿½?170i¿½W) SST anomaly (SSTa)

0.038 per mil over 468 standards (NBS19)

0.04 per mil for d18O based on analyses of 657 (13.5%) rep- licate samples.
