However, the nature of any El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability superimposed on this mean state is difficult to determine. We developed monthly resolved multidecadal stable isotopic time series from an extremely well preserved central Caribbean coral dating to the Miocene-Pliocene transition, prior to closure of the Central American Seaway (CAS). Paleoceanographic modeling suggests that the flow of water associated with El Nino and La Nina events through the CAS allowed Caribbean corals to record the ENSO-related SST anomalies. Spectral analysis of coral oxygen isotope ratios reveals periodicities similar to modern ENSO signatures, suggesting that ENSO-like variability characterized the Miocene-Pliocene transition. #------------------ # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: US National Science Foundation # Grant: OCE-1536440 #------------------ # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: Petroleum Research Fund # Grant: #------------------ # Site_Information # Site_Name: Cibao Valley # Location: Ocean>Atlantic Ocean>North Atlantic Ocean>Caribbean Sea>Dominican Republic # Country: Dominican Republic # Northernmost_Latitude: 19.5 # Southernmost_Latitude: 19.5 # Easternmost_Longitude: -71.15 # Westernmost_Longitude: -71.15 # Elevation: m #------------------ # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: CibaoCorallite1res # Earliest_Year: 5520029 # Most_Recent_Year: 5520000 # Time_Unit: Cal.
