  <Summary>
    <Abstract>In the late Pleistocene, the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (pCO2) is thought to be a primary driving force for tropical sea surface temperature (SST) change because glacial-interglacial changes in tropical Pacific SST covary with pCO2. However, if the regional radiative effects of pCO2 were the only agent of change, tropical SST gradients should have remained similar as pCO2 varied with time. Instead, a new record of SST from the west Pacific shows that tropical SST gradients were different, even reversed, in the past, suggesting an important role for dynamical circulation changes. Specifically, changes in the temperature of upwelled source water, in addition to local pCO2 forcing, influenced tropical Pacific SST. These dynamical changes, rather than pCO2, may have shifted the background state of the tropics and even helped set the stage for the mid-Pleistocene transition. 
          STUDY NOTES: These are data from the western Pacific warm pool, derived from sediments of Site 871, retrieved as part of ODP drilling. The dataset contains both oxygen isotopic values measured on benthic foraminifera and Mg/Ca values measured on planktic foraminifera. Included is the estimated sea surface temperature value, derived from planktic Mg/Ca.</Abstract>
