环礁潟湖沉积物重建南沙群岛小冰期以来的热带气旋活动

Abstract

Abstract:

Tropical cyclones (TCs) and the resultant storm surges and heavy rainfall have posed huge socio-economic threats to the coastal areas of the South China Sea (SCS) and its surrounding areas. Holocene TCs studies before instrumental record help to accurately predict trends in TCs activity in the context of global warming. Here, we presented a new sub-annually resolved paleostorm record from the Anle reef lagoon sediments of the Nansha Islands in the southern SCS since the relative cold Little Ice Age (LIA) and a total of 28 storm event layers were identified. The new reconstruction indicates that the site has witnessed frequent TCs variations on a decadal to centennial-scale since the LIA, and two main storm active periods have been developed. The most intense storm activity period occurred in the early LIA (AD 1471~1620), and the other relatively active period was witnessed in the Current Warm Period (CWP) of AD 1930~1960. Although the storm activity in CWP was strengthened, it was significantly lower than that in the early LIA. Regional comparison with the storm reconstruction record of the Yongshu Reef during the same period reveals distinct spatio-temporal heterogeneity in the southern SCS. More high-resolution storm records from similar or adjacent regions could effectively reduce the uncertainty of storm reconstructions and increase the accuracy of reconstructed records.
