Abstract
The Holocene variability in sea surface and thermocline water temperatures (SST and TWT) in the Indo‐Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) has been reconstructed by planktonic foraminiferal Mg/Ca from sediments of the western tropical Philippine Sea. Afterward the Younger Dryas interval (YD), SST warmed gradually till ∼10 ka and remained approximately constant afterwards, but TWT rose more rapidly to a peak between ∼12 and ∼10 ka and then declined by ∼1.5°C through the Holocene. The trend of TWT closely followed the boreal summer insolation and could be correlated to tropical climate changes represented by southward movement of the Inter‐tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and related changes in East Asian monsoons.
