Science v. 309, pp. 2204-2207, 30 September 2005. # Abstract: The oceans are becoming more acidic due to absorption of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The impact of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems is unclear, but it will likely depend on species adaptability and the rate of change of seawater pH relative to its natural variability. To constrain the natural variability in reef-water pH, we measured boron isotopic compositions in a ~300-year-old massive Porites coral from the southwestern Pacific. Large variations in pH are found over ~50-year cycles that covary with the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation of ocean-atmosphere anomalies, suggesting that natural pH cycles can modulate the impact of ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems. #------------------ # Authors: Anderson, D.M., Tardif, R., Horlick, K., Erb, M.P., Hakim, G.J., Noone, D., Perkins, W.A., and E.

We describe additions to a collection prepared for use in paleoclimate state estimation, specifically the Last Millennium Reanalysis (LMR). The 2290 additional series include 2152 tree ring chronologies and 138 other series. They supplement the collection used previously and together form a database titled LMRdb 1.0.0. The additional data draws from lake core, ice core, coral, speleothem, and tree ring archives, using published data primarily from the NOAA Paleoclimatology archive and a set of tree ring width chronologies standardized from raw International Tree Ring Data Bank ring width series. In contrast to many previous paleo compilations, the data were not selected (screened) on the basis of their environmental correlation, multi-century length, or other attributes. The inclusion of proxies sensitive to moisture and other environmental variables expands their use in data assimilation. A preliminary calibration using linear regression with mean annual temperature reveals characteristics of the proxy series and their relationship to temperature, as well as the noise and error characteristics of the records. The additional records are structured as individual files in the NOAA Paleoclimatology format and archived at NOAA Paleoclimatology (Anderson et al. 2018) and will continue to be improved and expanded as part of the LMR Project. The additions represent a four-fold increase in the number of records available for assimilation, provide expanded geographic coverage, and add additional proxy variables. Applications include data assimilation, proxy system model development, and paleoclimate reconstruction using climate field reconstruction and other methods. #------------------ # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: # Grant: #------------------ # Funding_Agency_Name: National Science Foundation # Grant:AGS-1304263 # Funding_Agency_Name: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration # Grant:NA14OAR4310176 #------------------ # Site_Information # Site_Name: Flinders Reef Australia # Location: i.e Australia/New Zealand>Australia # Country: Australia # Northernmost_Latitude: -17.73 # Southernmost_Latitude: -17.73 # Easternmost_Longitude: 148.43 # Westernmost_Longitude: 148.43 # Elevation: -5 m #------------------ # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: 05aust01a # Earliest_Year: 1708 # Most_Recent_Year: 1988 # Time_Unit: y_ad # Core_Length: 4.2 m # Notes: {"database":"LMR"} 5 year time step. previous name- Flinders2005Poritesisotopic #------------------ # Species # Species_Name: Porites sp. # Common_Name: #------------------ # Chronology: # # # # # # # #---------------- # Variables # # Data variables follow that are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. # Data line variables format: Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-longname-tab-longname components (9 components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, archive, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) # ##age age, , ,years AD, , , , ,N ##d11B delta 11B, Porites sp., ,permil SRM 951, ,Corals and Sclerosponges, average: 2 to 4 runs, ,N ##pH pH, Porites sp., , unitless, ,Corals and Sclerosponges, , ,N ##arag Aragonite saturation state, Porites sp., , , ,Corals and Sclerosponges, , ,N ##d13C delta13C, Porites sp., , permil, ,Corals and Sclerosponges, , ,N ##ext Extension Rate, Porites sp., ,cm/yr, ,Corals and Sclerosponges, , ,N ##calc Calcification, Porites sp., , g/cm2/yr, ,Corals and Sclerosponges, , ,N # #---------------- # Data: # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line format - tab-delimited text, variable short name as header # Missing Values: NAN # age d11B pH arag d13C ext calc 1998 22.99 7.91 2.92 -1.06 1.46 1.76 1983 24.17 8.07 3.82 -1.19 1.22 1.47 1978 23.43 7.97 3.25 -0.67 0.90 1.10 1973 23.64 8.00 3.29 -0.94 1.10 1.36 1968 24.57 8.12 4.01 -0.23 1.32 1.66 1963 24.83 8.15 4.27 -0.29 1.10 1.41 1958 23.77 8.02 3.43 -0.54 1.17 1.44 1953 24.89 8.16 4.34 -0.32 1.32 1.62 1948 23.97 8.05 3.64 -0.46 1.41 1.71 1943 23.51 7.98 3.22 -0.30 1.09 1.38 1938 23.45 7.98 3.19 -0.42 1.10 1.37 1933 23.53 7.99 3.29 -0.38 1.24 1.49 1928 23.92 8.04 3.50 -0.25 1.45 1.81 1923 23.95 8.04 3.46 -0.33 1.18 1.42 1918 24.39 8.10 3.94 -0.26 1.30 1.57 1913 23.66 8.00 3.31 -0.24 1.17 1.37 1908 23.36 7.96 3.04 -0.23 1.12 1.38 1903 23.92 8.04 3.60 -0.07 1.18 1.48 1898 23.78 8.02 3.41 -0.12 1.45 1.84 1893 23.20 7.94 2.93 -0.25 1.28 1.60 1888 23.85 8.03 3.54 -0.13 1.76 2.20 1883 23.40 7.97 3.06 -0.21 1.16 1.41 1878 24.23 8.08 3.84 -0.33 1.17 1.49 1873 23.88 8.03 3.50 -0.19 1.49 1.83 1868 23.77 8.02 3.43 -0.11 0.99 1.22 1863 24.05 8.06 3.63 -0.14 1.13 1.45 1858 24.38 8.10 3.86 -0.03 1.10 1.40 1853 23.79 8.02 3.31 -0.13 1.04 1.29 1848 23.61 8.00 3.25 -0.19 1.17 1.43 1843 23.36 7.96 2.90 -0.08 1.16 1.34 1838 23.29 7.95 2.98 -0.08 1.56 1.86 1833 23.35 7.96 2.98 -0.21 1.11 1.29 1828 23.73 8.01 3.26 -0.10 1.52 1.83 1823 24.44 8.10 3.83 0.11 1.52 1.82 1818 24.21 8.08 3.78 -0.09 1.17 1.40 1813 24.51 8.11 3.95 -0.09 1.26 1.49 1808 24.28 8.09 3.72 0.01 1.05 1.27 1803 23.67 8.01 3.34 -0.10 1.30 1.53 1798 23.39 7.97 3.06 -0.26 1.35 1.69 1793 23.94 8.04 3.47 -0.03 1.39 1.68 1788 23.75 8.02 3.29 -0.26 1.16 1.44 1783 23.84 8.03 3.46 -0.26 1.34 1.65 1778 24.47 8.11 4.02 0.00 1.04 1.26 1773 24.24 8.08 3.76 0.18 1.24 1.52 1768 24.08 8.06 3.69 -0.10 1.43 1.78 1763 24.06 8.06 3.70 -0.59 1.40 1.66 1758 24.10 8.06 3.72 -0.01 1.08 1.25 1753 23.78 8.02 3.46 -0.07 0.84 0.98 1748 23.49 7.98 3.29 -0.25 1.04 1.25 1743 23.77 8.02 3.45 -0.28 0.91 1.16 1738 23.33 7.96 3.08 -0.21 1.02 1.25 1733 24.20 8.08 3.67 0.09 1.18 1.40 1728 24.08 8.06 3.70 0.09 1.14 1.30 1723 23.82 8.03 3.46 -0.14 1.13 1.31 1718 24.52 8.11 3.84 0.08 0.99 1.19 1713 24.97 8.17 4.64 0.04 1.20 1.51 1708 24.79 8.15 4.38 -0.07 0.90 1.13 1703 NAN NAN NAN NAN 1.23 1.58
