| We use a multiproxy approach to monitor changes in the vertical profile of the Indonesian Throughflow as well as monsoonal wind and precipitation patterns in the Timor Sea on glacial-interglacial, precessional, and suborbital timescales. We focus on an interval of extreme climate change and sea level variation: marine isotope (MIS) 6 to MIS 5e. Paleoproductivity fluctuations in the Timor Sea follow a precessional beat related to the intensity of the Australian (NW) monsoon. Paired Mg/Ca and delta(18)O measurements of surface- and thermocline-dwelling planktonic foraminifers ( G. ruber and P. obliquiloculata) indicate an increase of > 4 degrees C in both surface and thermocline water temperatures during Termination II. Tropical sea surface temperature... |
