| Alkenone palaeothermometry has demonstrated a wide spatial and temporal applicability for the reconstruction of sea-surface temperatures (SST). Some oceanic realms, however, remain poorly studied. We document U-37(K) index data for two sediment cores retrieved from the South Tasman Sea, one west of New Zealand (SO136-GC3) and the other southeast of Tasmania (FR1/94-GC3), extending back 280 kyr BP for the former and 460 kyr BP for the latter. High climatic sensitivity on orbital time scales is observed at both locations, particularly west of New Zealand, where typical glacial/interglacial SST amplitudes always span more than 7 degrees C. Southeast of Tasmania, SST amplitudes are lower in amplitude (4.3 to 6.9 degrees C) with the exception of Termination IV,... |
