However, limited direct observations hinder our understanding of KI’s mechanisms and responses to climate change. Here, we present a 60-year bi-monthly resolved coral oxygen isotope (d18Oc) record from Dongsha Atoll, the northern SCS. The dry-season (December-March) d18Oc record reveals interannual to decadal variabilities of the KI. The impact of the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) on Dongsha d18Oc was more pronounced during the 1970s and 1980s and after the early 2000s, while the influence of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on Dongsha d18Oc was higher between the 1980s and 1990s. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) may have a relatively minor effect on KI strength or may indirectly modulate KI strength through its influence on ENSO activities. Our Dongsha d18Oc record highlight the importance of the EAWM, ENSO, and PDO in predicting future KI changes. #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: # Grant: #--------------------------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: Dongsha Atoll Coral # Location: South China Sea # Northernmost_Latitude: 20.62 # Southernmost_Latitude: 20.62 # Easternmost_Longitude: 116.7 # Westernmost_Longitude: 116.7 # Elevation_m: #--------------------------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: wet_SSH # First_Year: 1993 # Last_Year: 2016 # Time_Unit: year Common Era # Core_Length_m: # Parameter_Keywords: physical properties # Notes: #--------------------------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: #--------------------------------------- # Variables # PaST_Thesaurus_Download_Resource: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/skos/past-thesaurus.rdf # PaST_Thesaurus_Download_Description: Paleoenvironmental Standard Terms (PaST) Thesaurus terms, definitions, and relationships in SKOS format. # # Data variables follow that are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. # Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-var components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, data type, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) # ## Date age,,,Year Common Era,Jun-Sep,corals and sclerosponges,,,N, ## SSH sea level,,,meter,Jun-Sep,corals and sclerosponges,,,N,delta sea surface height #------------------------ # Data: # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line format - tab-delimited text, variable short name as header # Missing_Values: Date SSH 2016 0.594 2015 0.536 2014 0.507 2013 0.543 2012 0.307 2011 0.591 2010 0.563 2009 0.503 2008 0.546 2007 0.501 2006 0.552 2005 0.509 2004 0.754 2003 0.601 2002 0.534 2001 0.547 2000 0.583 1999 0.549 1998 0.565 1997 0.492 1996 0.498 1995 0.700 1994 0.645 1993 0.625
