Secas Island Coral d18O, used to reconstruct seasonal and interannual variability in the Intertropical Convergence Zone.  Site Location:  Secas Island, Gulf of Chiriqui, Panama, 7&apos;59 N, 82&apos;3W. Secas Island Coral (S1), collected live, June, 1984.  10/year and 12/year sampling with age model and isotope data as published in Linsley et al, 1994, JGR,  vol 99, No. C5,pp 9977-9994, 1994. (10/year sampling was published).
