Mg/Ca Ratio in Planktonic Foraminifera Shells: A Proxy for the SST
-
摘要: 通过对东北印度洋区MD77181和MD81349两支岩心中Globigerinoides sacculifer壳体极为精细的清洗和溶样后, 由ICP-MS测试获得了近260 ka以来Mg/Ca值.结果表明Mg/Ca值与δ18O值变化趋势较为吻合, 随温度的增加而升高, 浮游有孔虫G.sacculifer壳体Mg/Ca值是海洋表层水温(SST)良好的替代性指标.运用函数式Mg/Ca=0.471 7 exp (0.082 5 * SST)计算表明, 包括印度洋在内的中、低纬地区, LGM时期的SST与全新世的温差大于最初CLIMAP推测的2℃, 很可能达到4℃.

Abstract: A series of Mg/Ca ratios of planktonic foraminifera shell Globigerinoides sacculifer in two cores in the NE Indian Ocean were measured by ICP-MS after careful cleaning and dissolving. The results show Mg/Ca ratio and δ18O change accordingly. The Mg/Ca ratio increases with the rise of temperature. This study demonstrates Mg/Ca ratio of planktonic foraminifera shell may serve as a proxy for the past sea surface temperatures (SST).The formula Mg/Ca=0.471 7exp (0.082 5*SST) was applied to calculating and the result shows that in low and middle latitudes, including the NE Indian Ocean, the difference of SST between LGM and the Holocene is about 4 ℃ which is higher than the 2 ℃ estimated by CLIMAP.-
