Trace element ratios of nearshore Porites coral from Herald Island (1996-2015)

Preliminary ages were assigned to sample datasets by assigning seasonal trace element ratios minima and maxima in datasets to warmest and coolest months in satellite SST records and then linearly interpolating in-between

研究人员通过将样本数据集中的季节性微量元素比值极值（最小值与最大值）对应至卫星海表面温度（Sea Surface Temperature, SST）记录中的最暖与最冷月份，再对二者之间的时段进行线性插值，为样本数据集赋予初步年代。
