Here we present coral Sr/Ca data of biweekly resolution from three modern coral cores drilled from livingPoritescorals from two different reef settings at Chagos (tropical Indian Ocean). Chagos lies at the eastern margin of the Seychelles‐Chagos thermocline ridge and features open ocean upwelling. In situ temperatures have been recorded by temperature loggers since 2006. High‐resolution satellite temperatures closely track the logger data. Two cores were collected from a patch reef in the lagoon of Peros Banhos, a site characterized by high mean temperatures and low‐temperature variability. An open ocean core was collected at the outer reef slope of Diego Garcia, which experiences larger temperature fluctuations related to open ocean upwelling. The open ocean core shows clear seasonal cycles in Sr/Ca that closely track the satellite temperatures. The Sr/Ca records from the two lagoon corals show good reproducibility. Between 2007 and 2010, Sr/Ca tracks satellite temperatures. However, between 2003 and 2006 the Sr/Ca curves are almost flat and annual coral growth rates are low. During these years, warm sea surface temperatures and coral bleaching have been observed at Chagos. It is likely that the observed reduction in coral growth rates is a response to prolonged warming events, adding to the growing evidence that seemingly healthy and surviving corals are affected by thermal stress. Further, the high correlation between the Sr/Ca records of the two lagoon cores suggests that this effect is not limited to single coral colonies but may affect the entire reef setting.
