Abstract Mg/Ca is an independent proxy in paleoceanography to reconstruct past seawater temperature. Femtosecond Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (fs-LA-ICP-MS) was employed to determine the Mg/Ca composition of tests (shells) of the planktic foraminifer species Globigerinoides ruber albus (white chromotype) and G. ruber ruber (red/pink chromotype) sampled alive from the temperate to subtropical eastern North Atlantic with the research sailing yacht Eugen Seibold. Mg/Ca data are compared to (i) the measured in-situ temperature of ambient seawater, (ii) average mixed layer temperature, and (iii) sea surface temperature (SST). The pooled mean chamber Mg/Ca from each plankton tow site exhibits a positive relationship with SST. Two chamber-specific calibrations are derived, which are consistent with previous calibration equations for comparable paleo-archives. The results confirm fs-LA-ICP-MS as reliable method for determining Mg/Ca in G. ruber, and both the penultimate and antepenultimate chambers of adult specimens may provide comprehensible Mg/Ca temperatures of the surface ocean. |
