Abstract:
In the sediment Core EN-032-18PC, collected below the influence of the Loop Current in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, we aimed to investigate mixed layer conditions, the intensity of the surface and subsurface waters flowing from the Caribbean to the gulf, and the extension of the Loop Current. We analyzed 136 samples that include: (S1) Bulk sediment and sand fraction (>62 μm) weight (g), the absolute abundance (tests per sample) of 33 species of planktonic foraminifera. (S2) Relative abundance (%) of planktonic foraminifera and factor loadings of two factors (Q-mode factor analysis). (S3) Stable isotopes (δ18O-PDB and δ13C-PDB) (‰) of Globigerinoides ruber (white) and the loess-smoothing of the series with polynomial regression.
