SEA LEVELS, SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND EL NINO VARIABILITY DURING WARM INTERGLACIATIONS

暖温带期间的海平面、海面温度和厄尔尼诺变率。海平面、海面温度和厄尔尼诺变化将使用保存在隆起的珊瑚礁中的年代良好的、地层控制的化石珊瑚来确定以前温暖的间冰期。过去海平面变化和海洋温度变暖之间的关系将为海平面对全球变暖的反应提供洞察力。了解以前间冰期暖期发生的厄尔尼诺事件的频率和幅度，将有助于更好地了解气候系统中控制极端事件的过程。

SEA LEVELS, SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND EL NINO VARIABILITY DURING WARM INTERGLACIATIONS. Sea levels, sea surface temperatures and the variability of El Niño will be determined for previous warm interglacial periods using well dated, stratigraphically controlled fossil corals preserved in uplifted reefs. Relationships between past changes in sea level and warmer ocean temperatures will provide insights into the response of sea level to global warming. Knowledge of the frequency and amplitude of El Nino events that occurred during previous interglacial warm periods will provide a better understanding of processes controlling extreme events in the climate system.
