14 Distribution of dyed benthic forams from surface sediments EOF Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3

15 Benthic foraminiferal  18 O   C records

16 Amplitude of isotope signal at 911 m is greater than that in 1263 m

17 Take Home Messages: Hydrographic signals recorded by planktonic forams are comparable with local temperature record and global MEI index; Variations of bottom water change (  18 O+  13 C) in deep water (>1000 m) is relatively condensed than those from shallow water.
