Assessing Kuroshio Intrusion–Related Variability Using Paired Coral Cores From Contrasting Reef Environments at Dongsha Atoll, South China Sea 

Ke Lin ,  Yilin Zhang ,  Mohamad Zahid Baharom ,  Yue-Gau Chen ,  Xianfeng Wang

Key Points

• We combined Sr/Ca and δ 18O  data from two contrasting coral sites to separate sea surface temperature and salinity signals
• DS25 (inner lagoon) reflects more local hydrology variability, while DS86 (outer reef) records regional signals and the Kuroshio Intrusion
• Pairing corals from different reef environments helps distinguish local versus regional oceanographic influences
