Abstract

Contrary to our conclusions, Ravelo et al. argue that our TEX86-based sea surface temperature (SST) records do not conflict with the supposition of "permanent El Niño-like" conditions during the early Pliocene. We show that the way Ravelo et al. treat the existing temperature data perpetuates an inaccurate impression of cooler Pacific warm-pool SSTs and low equatorial temperature gradients in the past.

摘要

与我们的结论相反，Ravelo 等人认为，我们基于 TEX86 的海表温度（SST）记录与上新世早期“永久类似厄尔尼诺”条件的假设并不冲突。我们表明，Ravelo 等人处理现有温度数据的方式延续了过去太平洋暖池 SST 较冷和赤道温度梯度较低的不准确印象。
