Regional climate variability in the western subtropical North Atlantic 
during the past two millennia.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Western subtropical North Atlantic oceanic and atmospheric 
circulations connect tropical and subpolar climates. Variations 
in these circulations can generate regional climate anomalies 
that are not reflected in Northern Hemisphere averages. 
Assessing the significance of anthropogenic climate change 
at regional scales requires proxy records that allow recent 
trends to be interpreted in the context of long-term regional 
variability.  We present reconstructions of Gulf Stream sea 
surface temperature (SST) and hydrographic variability during 
the past two millennia based on the magnesium/calcium ratio 
and oxygen isotopic composition of planktic foraminifera 
preserved in two western subtropical North Atlantic sediment 
cores. Reconstructed SST suggests low-frequency variability 
of ~1°C during an interval that includes the Medieval Climate 
Anomaly (MCA) and the Little Ice Age (LIA). A warm interval 
near 1250 A.D. is distinct from regional and hemispheric 
temperature, possibly reflecting regional variations in 
ocean-atmosphere heat flux associated with changes in 
atmospheric circulation (e.g., the North Atlantic Oscillation) 
or the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Seawater 
d18O, which is marked by a fresher MCA and a more saline LIA, 
covaries with meridional migrations of the Atlantic Intertropical 
Convergence Zone. The northward advection of tropical salinity 
anomalies by mean surface currents provides a plausible mechanism 
linking Carolina Slope and tropical Atlantic hydrology.
