Abstract:
We determined the d18O and d13C of individual Globigerinoides ruber and Pulleniatina obliquiloculata from sediment traps located from 5°N to 12°S along 140°W in the Pacific Ocean to evaluate the effects of varying [CO3=] on shell d18O and d13C. Variations in the offset between shell d13C and d13CDIC (Dd13Cs-DIC) are attributed to differences in [CO3]2-, temperature, and shell size between sample sites. When Dd13Cs-DIC of G. ruber was corrected for variations in [CO3]2- using the experimental slope of Bijma et al. (1998), the residual Dd13Cs-DIC was correlated with mixed layer temperature (+0.10±0.04 per mil °C**-1). The slope of this temperature effect is consistent with experimental results. In P. obliquiloculata, Dd13Cs-DIC and temperature were strongly anticorrelated (−0.14±0.03 per mil C**-1). We are unable to separate the influences of [CO3]2- and temperature in this species without independent experimental data. Correcting for [CO3]2- variability on d18Os of G. ruber improves the accuracy of estimated sea surface temperatures.
