"Unique behavior of marine conditions in the Java Sea reconstructed fro" by Ai Genda, Minoru Ikehara et al.
The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) plays an important role in the heat flux and water budget between the Pacific and Indian oceans and may modulate climate variability. During the boreal winter monsoon, low-salinity, buoyant water carried from the Java Sea to the Southern Makassar Strait retards the sea-surface transport of the ITF, which may affect the Asian monsoon and climate change. However, observation records are inadequate to elucidate the marine environment around the Indonesian Seas. We analyzed coral Sr/Ca and δ18O from the Seribu Islands, Java Sea, and reconstructed sea-surface tempe...
