SST Variations
Holocene SST reconstructions are more spatially complete durante the North Atlantic compared esatto other oceans, although still primarily limited onesto high sediment-accumulation-rate, near-shore basins. Pioneering research seeking esatto identify per long-term inclinazione con upper ocean temperatures focused on reconstructing SSTs for 9 and 6 ka, using planktonic foraminiferal assemblages ( Ruddiman and Mix, 1993 ). Calibration studies con the 1950s and 1960s had demonstrated that un groupings of planktonic Foraminifera are highly correlated puro SST, per accessit esatto salinity and water-column nutrients ( Morey et al., 2005 ).
