Long-term variability of temperature and (super 14) C in the Gulf Stream; oceanographic implications.

Variability in temperature and 14C levels are recorded in coralline aragonite that grew in the Gulf Stream during the past four centuries. In particular, 180/160 ratios reflect a decrease of ca 1°C in surface water temperature during the latter part of the Little Ice age. 14C levels also rose in the...
