(a) Black line indicates mean of NAO index for DJFM with shaded ±95% confidence intervals in light blue and dashed-red line indicating zero. (b,c,d) Gray lines indicate calcification rates (g cm –2 yr –1 ) for individual coral cores and the black lines with light blue shading represent mean calcification rates ±95% confidence intervals for each species. The vertical red line indicates the negative pointer year and the vertical light blue line indicates the positive pointer year. (e) Lines indicate the number of cores with calcification rate data for the respective year from each species.
