Bottom water variability in the subtropical northwestern Pacific from 26 kyr BP to present based on Mg/Ca and stable carbon and oxygen isotopes of benthic foraminifera
To understand bottom water variability in the subtropical northwestern Pacific, bottom water temperatures (BWTs), carbon isotopes (delta C-13), and oxygen isotopes of seawater (delta O-18(w)) at a water depth of 1166 m were reconstructed from 26 kyr BP to present. A new regional Mg / Ca calibration...

To understand bottom water variability in the subtropical northwestern Pacific, bottom water temperatures (BWTs), carbon isotopes (delta C-13), and oxygen isotopes of seawater (delta O-18(w)) at a water depth of 1166 m were reconstructed from 26 kyr BP to present. A new regional Mg / Ca calibration for the benthic foraminifera Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi (type B) was established to convert the benthic Mg / Ca value to BWT, based on 26 surface sediment samples and two core-top samples retrieved around Okinawa Island. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the delta O-18(w) in the intermediate water in the northwestern South Pacific was similar to 0.4 parts per thousand lower than in the deep South Pacific, indicating a greater vertical salinity gradient than at present. This salinity (and probably density) structure would have led to stratification in the intermediate and deep Pacific, which would, in turn, have greatly influenced carbon storage during the glacial time.
