Kim Cobb Chris Charles 2001/05 World Data Center for Paleoclimatology Data Contribution Series 2001-043 Boulder World Data Center for Paleoclimatology, Boulder Palmyra Island Monthly Coral Oxygen Isotope Data. 112-yr, monthly-resolved coral record from Palmyra Island (5°52'N, 162°8'W). The coral was drilled in ~30' of water from the reef flat extending off the west side of the island. The data are in two columns: date (in year) and oxygen isotopic value (per mill). The data are monthly samples of the raw dataset and have not been deseasoned or detrended. We calculate the analytical precision at <0.05 per mill, based on over 500 measurements of an internal aragonitic laboratory standard measured while running the Palmyra coral.
