Here we present a 235-year long SST reconstruction based on annual growth rates (linear extension) of three colonies of the Atlantic coral Siderastrea siderea sampled at two sites on the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, located within the Atlantic Warm Pool (AWP). AWP SSTs vary in concert the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), a basin-wide, quasi-periodic (~60-80 years) oscillation of North Atlantic SSTs. We demonstrate that the annual linear growth rates of all three coral colonies are significantly inversely correlated with SST. We calibrate annual linear growth rates to SST between 1900 and 1960 AD. The linear correlation coefficient over the calibration period is r = -0.77, and -0.66 over the instrumental record (1860-2008 AD). We apply our calibration to annual linear growth rates to extend the SST record to 1775AD and show that multi-decadal SST variability has been a persistent feature of the AWP, and likely, of the North Atlantic over this time period. Our results imply that tropical Atlantic SSTs remained within 1 °C of modern values during the past 225 years, consistent with a previous reconstruction based on coral growth rates and with most estimates based on the Mg/Ca of planktonic foraminifera from marine sediments. #------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: # Grant_Number: #------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: Puerto Morelos Reef Park and Punta Maroma # Location: Ocean>Atlantic Ocean>North Atlantic Ocean>Caribbean Sea # Northernmost_Latitude: 20.83 # Southernmost_Latitude: 20.83 # Easternmost_Longitude: -86.74 # Westernmost_Longitude: -86.74 # Elevation_m: -3 #------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: Puerto Morelos and Punta Maroma # First_Year: 1773 # Last_Year: 2009 # Time_Unit: AD # Core_Length_m: # Parameter_Keywords: physical properties # Notes: #------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: #------------------- # Variables # # PaST_Thesaurus_Download_Resource: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/skos/past-thesaurus.rdf # PaST_Thesaurus_Download_Description: Paleoenvironmental Standard Terms (PaST) Thesaurus terms, definitions, and relationships in SKOS format. # # variables format: shortname what,material,error,units,seasonality,data_type,detail,method, C(har) or N(umeric) data,additional information # ##
