  1. aTemperature data from the JODC datacenter (http://www.jodc.go.jp). Temperatures for the alkenone proxy are the annual mean temperatures at depths of 0–30 m; those for the Mg/Ca proxy are June–November mean temperatures at depths of 0–50 m; and those for the summer and winter assemblage-based temperatures are August and February temperatures at 0 m, respectively bForaminiferal assemblage cNumbers in parenthesis refer to assemblage-based temperatures reconstructed using FP-12E and SIMMAX-28, respectively
