Galapagos (E-Pacific, 1oS, 90oW, Dunbar et al., 1994):
367 years of coral 18O records from 1587-1953, with annual resolution. The intervals 1660-80, 1710-1800 and 1870-95 were found warmer than “normal”, whereas the intervals 1600-1660, 1680-1700 (LMM) and 1800-25 cooler than on average. 18O increases of about 0.1-0.15‰ heavier during LMM than between 1660-70 and 1705-50 is indicative for a cooling of 0.5-0.75K.
New Caledonia (SW-Pacific, 22oS, 166oE, Quinn et al., 1998):
335 years of coral 18O records from 1657-1952, with seasonal resolution. The records describe a brief interval of modest cooling in the late 17th century, with an annual mean SST about 0.2-0.3K cooler between 1680-1740 than between 1660-80 and 1740-50
Great Barrier Reef, Abraham Reef (SW-Pacific, 22oS, 153oE, Druffel and Griffin, 1993):
323 years of coral 18O records from 1635-1957, with bi-annual resolution. More positive 18O values (ca. 0.1‰) during the LMM, are consistent with lower SST’s of about 0.5K

Hemispheric mean temperature as well as PC time series describing storminess on winter hemispheres. The time series have been low pass filtered by computing an 11-year running mean and normalized to unit variance and zero mean in the pre-industrial period.
Green: storminess in H (until 1990) and in CC (after 1990). Blue: AO-index or AAO index in H and in CC.Red/orange curves: winter near-surface air temperature in H and CC.The bold grey lines indicate 2 standard deviations for the pre-industrial period of H, continuing as thin grey lines

Conclusion
• Historical runs done.• Realistic sequence of warming and cooling.• Variations larger than in proxy reconstructions,
but consistent with a series of data.• Storm variability during historical times unrelated
to NH mean temperature.• Parallel increase of storminess and NH
temperature in a climate change scenario.
