  <Summary>
    <Abstract>High-resolution sea surface temperatures (SST) derived from Mg/Ca 
ratios of Globeriginoides sacculifer at ODP Site 1144 were reported 
to reveal the SST changes during the last 260 ka in the northern 
South China Sea (SCS). The results indicate an average Holocene SST 
of about 26.7°C, about 3.6°C increase from LGM to the Holocene, 
and higher temperature during MIS 5.5 than the Holocene. These agree 
well with other foraminifer Mg/Ca and Uk37 SST records in this region. 
The Mg/Ca records suggest warmer SSTs during MIS 3 in the northern SCS, 
compared with those in the eastern Pacific. Strong East Asian summer 
monsoon during MIS 3 indicated by paleoclimate records from nearby 
continents may account for it. Step-wise increases during terminations 
are shown in our SST record, and the beginning of deglacial warming 
occurs at about 19 ka, which precedes the change of oxygen isotopes, 
suggesting a tropical driven forcing for the SST change in the northern 
SCS. This is further supported by a robust semiprecessional cycle 
centering at ~9.1 ka in the spectra of the SST record, which is absent 
in that of the oxygen isotopes. However, tropical driven forcing seems 
not to be indicated in another Mg/Ca SST record in the northern SCS 
[Oppo, D.W. and Sun, Y.B., 2005. Amplitude and timing of sea-surface 
temperature change in the northern South China Sea: Dynamic link to 
the East Asian monsoon. Geology, 33 (10): 785–788.]. The discrepancy 
may be caused by different post-deposition dissolutions of foraminifer 
tests at these two sites. Details about the modification of foraminifer 
Mg/Ca ratios after burial, however, are not well known in this region, 
and further studies are needed.  
          STUDY NOTES: Foraminiferal Mg/Ca data and SST calculations from South China Sea 
core ODP1144 for the past 260,000 years.  Mg/Ca ratios were measured 
on tests of Globeriginoides sacculifer. SST calculations are by the 
calibration of Nurnberg et al. 2000.
