To examine and reconstruct ocean circulation in the South China Sea (SCS), we generated a pre to post bomb 14C time series from a Porites lobata coral from the west side of Palawan Island, Philippines. Results show a diluted early bomb 14C intrusion in late 1955. We use this record to extend our understanding of the surface ocean circulation in and around the SCS by tracing 14C labelled water from nuclear test sites. Our post-bomb Δ14C peaked at 154 ‰ in 1975, which lags ~10 years from the atmospheric peak, consistent with other marine records. This coral record also displayed clear seasonal Δ14C cycles indicating different surface waters passed the Palawan Island coral site due to seasonal variations of the East Asian Monsoon. #------------------ # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: # Grant: #------------------ # Site_Information # Site_Name: Palawan Island # Location: South China Sea # Northernmost_Latitude: 11.483333 # Southernmost_Latitude: 11.483333 # Easternmost_Longitude: 119.016667 # Westernmost_Longitude: 119.016667 # Elevation: #------------------ # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: Palawan Porites D14C Yang2020 # Earliest_Year: 1947 # Most_Recent_Year: 1981 # Time_Unit: CE # Core_Length: # Notes: A core was drilled from a Porites lobata coral colony off the west side of El Nido Bay, Palawan Islands (11°29′ N; 119°01′ E) in May 1981 by the US Geological Survey #------------------ # Species # Species_Name: # Common_Name: # Tree_Species_Code: #------------------ # Chronology_Information # Chronology: # #---------------- # Variables # # variables format: shortname what,material,error,units,seasonality,data_type,detail,method,data_format,additional_information) # ##
