South Island Composite Record, New Zealand

poor correlation of d18O and d13C along the growth axis

poor correlation of d18O and d13C along the growth axis which is assumed to show low influence of kinetic fractionation. Hendy tests were not performed since sampling along single laminae was too difficult

TP: added mean site elevation (540-600 m)

drilling with a microdrill at 300 micro meter intervals

observed cyclicity in the record and comparability with other pelaoclimate records which vary in phase with north Atlantic changes and ENSO

higher values are related to less rainfall - this can be realted to less moisture influex from the Caribbean due to a southward shift of the ITCZ in phases when high amounts of meltwater enter the cooling north Atlantic Ocean; after ~4.3 ka the connection to the north Atalatic is lost and ENSO becomes more important with warm ENSO events (El Nino) causing higher d18O

It is expected that the summer rainwater I´18O composition in southwestern Mexico is inversely proportional to the rainfall amount (Dansgaard, 1964). This is because southwestern Mexico is influenced by the same wind and climate patterns and moisture sources as Guatemala and Belize (Amador et al., 2006), where the amount effect has been observed to dominate the I´18O composition of rainfall and groundwater.
