Here we present multiple coral-based sea surface temperature reconstructions from Yongle Atoll, in the South China Sea over the last ~1,250 years (7622013 Common Era [CE]). Reconstructed coral Sr/Ca-sea surface temperatures indicate that the Little Ice Age (17111817 CE) period was ~0.7°C cooler than the Medieval Climate Anomaly (913-1132 CE) and that late 20th century warming of the western Pacific is likely unprecedented over the past millennium. Our findings suggest that the Western Pacific Warm Pool may have expanded (contracted) during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (Little Ice Age), leading to a strengthening (weakening) of the Asian summer monsoon, as recorded in Chinese stalagmites.","pubRank":"1"}],"site":[{"NOAASiteId":"59075","siteName":"Lingyang Reef, Yongle Atoll","siteCode":null,"mappable":"Y","locationName":"Ocean>Pacific Ocean>Western Pacific Ocean>South China Sea","geo":{"geoType":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"POINT","coordinates":["16.45","111.61"]},"properties":{"southernmostLatitude":"16.45","northernmostLatitude":"16.45","westernmostLongitude":"111.61","easternmostLongitude":"111.61","minElevationMeters":null,"maxElevationMeters":null}},"paleoData":[{"dataTableName":"LY1_Cheng2018","NOAADataTableId":"47198","earliestYear":1994,"mostRecentYear":2013,"timeUnit":"CE","earliestYearBP":-44,"mostRecentYearBP":-63,"earliestYearCE":1994,"mostRecentYearCE":2013,"coreLengthMeters":null,"dataTableNotes":null,"species":[],"dataFile":[{"fileUrl":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/coral/south_china_sea/chen2018/chen2018_ly1.txt","urlDescription":"NOAA Template File","linkText":"Yongle Atoll Site 1 Coral Sr/Ca Data","variables":[{"cvDataType":"CORALS AND SCLEROSPONGES","cvWhat":"age variable>age","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"time unit>age unit>year Common Era","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"Year"},{"cvDataType":"CORALS AND SCLEROSPONGES","cvWhat":"chemical composition>element or compound ratio>strontium/calcium","cvMaterial":"biological material>organism>coral>Porites sp.","cvError":null,"cvUnit":"concentration unit>mole fraction unit>millimole per mole","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":"laboratory method>spectroscopy>electronic spectroscopy>atomic spectroscopy>inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy","cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"Sr/Ca"}],"NOAAKeywords":["earth science>paleoclimate>corals and sclerosponges>trace metals"]}]},{"dataTableName":"LY2_Cheng2018","NOAADataTableId":"47199","earliestYear":1987,"mostRecentYear":2013,"timeUnit":"CE","earliestYearBP":-37,"mostRecentYearBP":-63,"earliestYearCE":1987,"mostRecentYearCE":2013,"coreLengthMeters":null,"dataTableNotes":null,"species":[],"dataFile":[{"fileUrl":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/coral/south_china_sea/chen2018/chen2018_ly2.txt","urlDescription":"NOAA Template File","linkText":"Yongle Atoll Site 2 Coral Sr/Ca Data","variables":[{"cvDataType":"CORALS AND SCLEROSPONGES","cvWhat":"age variable>age","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"time unit>age unit>year Common Era","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"Year"},{"cvDataType":"CORALS AND SCLEROSPONGES","cvWhat":"chemical composition>element or compound ratio>strontium/calcium","cvMaterial":"biological material>organism>coral>Porites sp.","cvError":null,"cvUnit":"concentration unit>mole fraction unit>millimole per mole","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":"laboratory method>spectroscopy>electronic spectroscopy>atomic spectroscopy>inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy","cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"Sr/Ca"}],"NOAAKeywords":["earth science>paleoclimate>corals and sclerosponges>trace metals"]}]}]}],"reference":{"pastThesaurusSkos":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/skos/past-thesaurus.rdf","pastThesaurusExplorer":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/cvterms","gcmdKeywordThesaurus":"https://earthdata.nasa.gov/earth-observation-data/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords"},"dataLicenseDescription":null,"dataLicenseUrl":null}
