	Basis=dditional variability in coral 18O may arise from vari- ations in the 18O of seawater due to precip- itation, evaporation, or runoff, but at this site these changes are likely to be secondary be- cause local rainfall 18O is not strongly de- pleted from average seawater (21) and salin- ity gradients are small (22). Rainfall and SST influences are likely to be additive in terms of annual effect on coral 18O because warmer years tend to be wetter at this site.|
