| This paper reports high-resolution biomarker records of the last 260 ka for core MD05- 2904 from the northern South China Sea (SCS). The sea surface temperature (SST) record using the U-37(k') index reveals a minimum of 21.5 degrees C (MIS 2) and a maximum of 28.3 degrees C (MIS 5.5), for a temperature difference of almost 7 degrees C, and provides the longest high-resolution U-37(k') SST record in northern SCS. The content of odd-number long chain n-alkanes and several n-alkanes indexes such as the CPI, ACL and the C-31/C-27 ratio, all reveal generally higher values during the glacials and lower values during the interglacials. Terrestrial input as indicated by n-alkane content was mostly controlled by sea-level changes: During the glacials, lower... |
