Long-Term Variability of Temperature and 14 C in the Gulf Stream: Oceanographic Implications

Variability in temperature and 14 C levels are recorded in coralline aragonite that grew in the Gulf Stream during the past four centuries. In particular, 18 O/ 16 O ratios reflect a decrease of ca 1°C in surface water temperature during the latter part of the Little Ice age. 14 C levels also rose i...
