Western tropical South Atlantic sea surface temperature for the Last Interglacial based on Mg/Ca in shells of Globigerinoides ruber (white) from sediment core GL-1180

The Last Interglacial (LIG, 129-116 thousand years ago) is an excellent case study for global warming scenarios and a target for proxy-model comparisons. The LIG global average sea surface temperature (SST) was ~0.5°C higher than pre-industrial (PI). Despite the global average, tropical SST compilations and model simulations show a negative anomaly in LIG SST relative to PI. Here, we present a LIG SST record from marine sediment core GL-1180 retrieved from the western tropical South Atlantic (WTSA). The SST record is based on Mg/Ca ratios of planktonic foraminifera Globigerinoides ruber (white).
