    Description: The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is a complex aggregate of different atmospheric and oceanographic forcings spanning the extratropical and tropical Pacific. The PDO has widespread climatic and societal impacts, thus understanding the processes contributing to PDO variability is critical. Distinguishing PDO‐related variability is particularly challenging in the tropical Pacific due to the dominance of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and influence of anthropogenic warming signals. Century‐long western Pacific records of subannual sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity (SSS), derived from coral Sr/Ca and δ18O profiles, respectively, allow for evaluating different climatic sensitivities and identifying PDO‐related variability in the region. The summer Sr/Ca‐SST record provides evidence of a significant SST increase, likely tied to greenhouse gas emissions. Anthropogenic warming is masked in the winter Sr/Ca‐SST record by interannual to multidecadal scale changes driven by the East‐Asian Winter Monsoon and the PDO. Decadal climate variability during winter is strongly correlated to the PDO, in agreement with other PDO records in the region. The PDO also exerts influence on the SSS difference between the dry and wet season coral δ18O (δ18Oc)‐SSS records through water advection. The PDO and El Niño–Southern Oscillation constructively combine to enhance/reduce advection of saline Kuroshio waters at our site. Overall, we are able to demonstrate that climate records from a tropical reef environment significantly capture PDO variability and related changes over the period of a century. This implies that the tropical western Pacific is a key site in understanding multifrequency climate variability, including its impact on tropical climate at longer timescales.

Coral-based proxy calibrations constrain ENSO-driven sea surface temperature and salinity gradients in the Western Pacific Warm Pool.

    Description: Constraining past variability in ocean conditions in the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) and examining how it has been influenced by the El-Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is critical to predicting how these systems may change in the future. To characterize the spatiotemporal variability of the WPWP and ENSO during the past three decades, we analyzed climate proxies using coral cores sampled from Porites spp. from Kosrae Island (KOS) and Woleai Atoll (WOL) in the Federated States of Micronesia. Coral skeleton samples drilled along the major growth axis were analyzed for oxygen isotopes (δ18Oc) and trace element ratios (Sr/Ca), used to reconstruct sea surface salinity and temperature (SSS and SST). Pseudocoral δ18O time series (δ18Opseudo) were calculated from gridded instrumental observations and compared to δ18Oc, followed by fine-tuning using coral Sr/Ca and gridded SST, to produce age models for each coral. The thermal component of δ18Oc was removed using Sr/Ca for SST, to derive δ18O of seawater (δ18Osw), a proxy for SSS. The Sr/Ca, and δ18Osw records were compared to instrumental SST and SSS to test their fidelity as regional climate recorders. We found both sites display significant Sr/Ca-SST calibrations at monthly and interannual (dry season, wet season, mean annual) timescales. At each site, δ18Osw also exhibited significant calibrations to SSS across the same timescales. The difference between normalized dry season SST (Sr/Ca) anomalies from KOS and WOL generates a zonal SST gradient (KOSWOLSST), capturing the east-west WPWP migration observed during ENSO events. Similarly, the average of normalized dry season δ18Osw anomalies from both sites produces an SSS index (KOSWOLSSS) reflecting the regional hydrological changes. Both proxy indices, KOSWOLSST and KOSWOLSSS, are significantly correlated to regional ENSO indices. These calibration results highlight the potential for extending the climate record, revealing spatial hydrological gradients within the WPWP and ENSO variability back to the end of the Little Ice Age.
