Holocene evolution of the Indonesian throughflow 
and the western Pacific warm pool.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>High sea surface temperatures in the western Pacific warm pool 
fuel atmospheric convection and influence tropical climate.  
This region also hosts the Indonesian throughflow, the network 
of currents through which surface and thermocline waters are 
transported from the western equatorial Pacific Ocean into the 
Indian Ocean. Here we show, using records of the d18O and Mg/Ca 
of planktonic foraminifera from eight sediment cores, that from 
about 10,000 to 7,000 years ago, sea surface temperatures in the 
western sector of the western Pacific warm pool were about 0.5°C 
higher than during pre-industrial times.  We also find that 
about 9,500 years ago, when the South China and Indonesian 
seas were connected by rising sea level, surface waters in the 
Makassar Strait became relatively fresher. We suggest that the 
permanent reduction of surface salinity initiated the enhanced 
flow at lower, thermocline depths seen in the modern Indonesian 
throughflow. However, the uniformly warm sea surface temperatures 
found upstream and downstream of the Indonesian throughflow 
indicate that the early Holocene warmth in this region was not 
directly related to reduced heat transport by the throughflow 
that may have resulted from surface freshening of the Makassar 
Strait. Instead, we propose that the elevated temperatures were 
the result of a westward shift or expansion of the boundaries 
of the western Pacific warm pool.
 
          STUDY NOTES: Planktonic foraminiferal Mg/Ca records of mixed-layer temperatures 
in the western Pacific warm pool.  Included are new Globigerinoides 
ruber Mg/Ca data from the southern Makassar Strait, cores 13GGC, 
70GGC and 10GGC, and regional average composite sediment core SST 
and d18Osw reconstructions utilizing these and previously published 
data.
