Interdecadal-Decadal Climate Variability from Multi-Coral Oxygen Isotope Records in the South Pacific Convergence Zone Region Since 1650AD
[1] In the South Pacific, interdecadal-decadal oceanic and atmospheric variability, referred to as the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO), is most pronounced in the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) salinity front region. Here we have used annual average oxygen isotope (dO) time series from five coral cores collected from Fiji and Tonga in this region to construct a Fiji-Tonga Interdeca...
متن کاملCoral records of central tropical Pacific radiocarbon variability during the last millennium
[1] The relationship between decadal to centennial changes in ocean circulation and climate is difficult to discern using the sparse and discontinuous instrumental record of climate and, as such, represents a large uncertainty in coupled ocean‐atmosphere general circulation models. We present new modern and fossil coral radiocarbon (DC) records from Palmyra (6°N, 162°W) and Christmas (2°N, 157°...
متن کاملPreindustrial to modern interdecadal variability in coral reef pH.
The oceans are becoming more acidic due to absorption of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The impact of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems is unclear, but it will likely depend on species adaptability and the rate of change of seawater pH relative to its natural variability. To constrain the natural variability in reef-water pH, we measured boron isotopic compositions in ...
متن کاملDefining the climatic signal in stream salinity trends using the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation and its rate of change
The impact of landuse on stream salinity is currently difficult to separate from the effect of climate, as the decadal scale climatic cycles in groundwater and stream hydrology have similar wavelengths to the landuse pattern. These hydrological cycles determine the stream salinity through accumulation or release of salt in the landscape. Widespread patterns apparent in stream salinity are discu...
متن کاملInterannual and Interdecadal Variability of the South Atlantic Convergence Zone
Interannual variations of the summertime (January−March) atmospheric circulation over subtropical South America are examined during the period 1958–97 using the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data. It is found from an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis that an anomalous upper-tropospheric stationary eddy in the lee of the Andes tends to accompany a dipole in anomalous vertical motion. An anomal...
